About this listen

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.

Good premise- too much detail!

This is a serious case of NEEDING AND EDITOR! It’s a great and interesting premise- but there is so much detail that has nothing to do with the story- it could be 3 hours shorter. Shows that the author really needs an editor
Also- the main character’s self loathing is just hard to listen to. Bummer

I really enjoyed Jodi finding herself through the loss and perseverance.

I didn’t care for so much self doubt and shame but did enjoy their able to overcome it all.

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.

Sisters

Loved the story of sister relationships and how they know and understand each other. The last chapter was the most beautiful and honest.

Love your bucket list

I loved the story and the love that is shared between the family and sisters. The grief of losing your person is never easy but seeing how Brie fought to make her sister’s life better and help get out of her own way was magically. Inspired me to make a list…to honor my mom and what we had together!
