Resumen del Editor

My dying wish is for you to finish my bucket list. I refuse to die without knowing this list will be completed. And I refuse to die without knowing my family will be okay . . .

Jodie Boyd is a shy and anxious twenty-something, completely unsure what to do with her life. Her older sister, Bree, is an adventurous, hugely successful Instagram influencer with more than a million followers. She's the most alive person Jodie knows—up until Bree's unfathomable, untimely death from Leukemia. The Boyds are devastated, not to mention overwhelmed with medical debt. But Bree thought of everything—and soon, Jodie is shocked by a new post on her sister's Instagram feed.

The first of many Bree recorded in secret, the post foretells a jaw-dropping challenge for Jodie: to complete Bree's very public bucket list. From "Fly over Antarctica," to "Perform a walk-on cameo in a Broadway musical," if Jodie does it—and keeps all Bree's followers—a corporate sponsor will pay off the staggering medical debt. If she gains followers, the Boyds won't be the only ones to benefit. It's crazy. It's terrifying. It's impossible, immoral even, to refuse. So, despite the whole world watching, Jodie plunges in, never imagining that in death, her sister will teach her how to live, and that the last item on the list—"Fall in love"—may just prove to be the easiest.

Inspirational

Loved Brenda’s reading voice.
In these days of social media the story is very relatable and will make you consider your own bucket list!

Pretty good book!

This was a pretty good book, with a good basic story. It just wasn’t that well written. Also, the audio version contained many mispronunciations or the insertion of the wrong word, and I found it annoying.

Loved this story

The narrated captured the essence of Jody. I really enjoyed the story and was cheering for a happy ending.

Bucket list

Easy listening and entertaining
Always love a happy ending
Nice to listen to a story not filled with bad language, very refreshing

All the Feels

This story made me cry several times, a good cry, the kind you didn’t know you needed.

Loved this book!

The book started a little slow for me, but once I got in about a chapter it was great. I loved it! Great story, strong characters, heartwarming.

I enjoyed listening during my commute

The story takes you to places you don’t normally think about. Well thought out and inspiring.

Good story, just slow

The idea for this story is excellent and well thought out. However, I struggled to finish this book due to the author’s extreme use of unnecessary detail about every situation and thought slowing the pace, exacerbated by the narrator’s painfully slow and dramatic vocal performance. I turned it to 1.5x speed and that helped but I literally couldn’t wait for the book to end. I will say I’m glad I stuck it out and did enjoy the ending, but not sure I’d read anything by this author again.

Great Concept!

It took entirely too long for the main character NOT to be a coward. If she’d said, “Oh, God”, one more time… The truth is, too many people live like her. The narrator did well with most of the characters. The English accent was really bad. Overall, the concept of the book saves it. It just took too long to execute the love story.

Must Read

This book was such a satisfying read. Great narration, great story, and it gets you immersed so quickly! Absolutely tugged on heart strings, but with such a fantastic story.
