The Life List: A Novel Description
Brett Bohlinger has forgotten all about the list of life goals she'd written as a na?ve teenager. In fact, at 34, Brett seems to have it all - a plum job at her family's multimillion-dollar company and a spacious loft with her irresistibly handsome boyfriend. But when her beloved mother, Elizabeth, passes away, Brett's world is turned upside down. Rather than simply naming her daughter the new CEO of Bohlinger Cosmetics, Elizabeth's will comes with one big stipulation: Brett must fulfill the list of childhood dreams she made so long ago.
Grief-stricken, Brett can barely make sense of her mother's decision. Some of her old hopes seem impossible. How can she possibly have a relationship with a father who died seven years ago? Other dreams (Be an awesome teacher!) would require her to reinvent her entire future. For each goal attempted, her mother has left behind a bittersweet letter, offering words of wisdom, warmth, and - just when Brett needs it - tough love. As Brett struggles to complete her abandoned life list, one thing becomes clear: sometimes life's sweetest gifts can be found in the most unexpected places.

It is such a relief to read good fiction that doesnt resort to throw-away emotions. Thank you for this wonderful work. Brett is a young woman that is adrift and grieving, and hasn't taken the time to determine what she really wants or even who she really is. She has lost her confidence and passion, even before she lost her mother. But before you think this is a depressing book... think again. and again. This writer is so effective because you are feeling everything Brett is feeling... frustration and joy and fun and fulfillment. And you might want to hide your eyes during her embarrassment, but then you are so drawn into what will happen next.

And this is her debut book? We have so much to look forward to! So very impressed.
Love the story. Have never read anything like it. The characters are awesome and you don't want to leave them when the book is over. I could hardly put it down. Just when you think you know where your life is going..boom. Plans change. We get to follow Brett's journey as she completes her life list for her mother.
Many twists and turns. Can't wait for her next book!
