This was basically trying to be a John Green book without all the likable characters or fun plot, so everything that makes them great. Not a fan, can't really find much to say about it because nothing really stuck out as being that good or even horribly bad for that matter. A book that was just kind of there.

The List is not only a cool idea for a book, but something that I wish I would have thought of as I was entering High School. I like how real Dave and Julia's relationship seems. I wonder what I would have put on my list. 91

Cute and relaxing if not entirely deep.

I adored Julia in this book. She is hilarious and unique. Her friendship with Dave is totally relatable, especially when in high school. Together they are adorable. I get that people didn't like the ending because Dave and Julia don't end up together--but I loved that! The love that they had...it just seemed more like friendship then relationship to me. I wish there was more to the book...like if Julia ever got with Brett?!? What exactly happened after prom?!? What happened with her real mom?!? I just want answers to my questions :( I need another book!!!

So boring, literally put me in a reading slump. Julia always mentioning she was barefoot was an ick, & I knew they should not be together & so happy they didn't end up together.

A light, fun read about best friends who may be more -- but should they be? I didn't necessarily love every element of the plot or how it all worked out, but I did really enjoy the writing and found some of the plot twists quite interesting and thought-provoking. (I wrote a full review here.)

David and Julia, two high school friends have created a list of things ‘never to do.’ When they decide to change their minds and embrace the clichés of their list, the fun begins. The book follows the two on those adventures and as they wrap up their high school careers.

The whole book was an amazing roller coaster. The ending, however, seemed forced. I get that the author did not want to end the book in the cliche: the best-friends-in-love-happily-ever-after ending. I get that. But I honestly don't think that Dave would choose anyone other than Julia, no matter what he feels about the other girl. I just can't buy it. But then, Dave and Julia would have broken up and moved on too. That's life. Good job though. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
