The Bucket List

(2023)
A novel by

 
 
A dead best friend. A million-dollar beach house. One terrifying bucket list. And a deadline: her 50th birthday.

Jill has spent fifteen years as an anxious widow who tracks her adult daughter on a GPS app and considers a trip to the grocery store an adventure. She manages a restaurant she hates, avoids anything remotely dangerous, and hasn't been on a single date since her husband fell from a roof and died in front of her.

Then her fearless best friend Monica dies of cancer. And at the will reading, Jill gets the shock of her life: Monica left her everything. The beach house on Pawleys Island. All of her money. Every last thing. But there's a catch.

Jill has to complete Monica's bucket list before what would have been Monica's 50th birthday. Zip-lining through a forest canopy. Performing stand-up comedy. Crashing a stranger's high school reunion. Kissing someone she's never met. If she doesn't finish, the estate goes to Monica's ex-husband.

Then there's Levi. A handsome stranger she meets on New Year's Eve who has a habit of showing up in the most unexpected places. He's not on the bucket list. At least, she doesn't think he is.

Monica always did know Jill better than she knew herself.

Laugh-out-loud adventures. A romance that sneaks up on you. A best friend's love letter disguised as a dare. The kind of story that makes you want to write your own bucket list.
