I absolutely loved it. It was fun, funny, and emotional. It made me think about life….and how things can change and adapt to your circumstances.

The title about covers it. It’s about love, creating lists of things you want to accomplish, and working on luxury cruise ships. But honestly, it’s a lot more than that….it’s about life and how hard and great it can be at any time.

Finished this a few days ago and liked it so much, I jumped right into book 2 of the series. Loved the setting on a fancy yacht that fancy people can rent. The behind the scenes perspective was fun and the characters a delight!

I loved the cruise ship life early on and love the bucket list for Jo. Although I am not a huge fan of kids IRL some of my favorite authors know how to write kids I adore Mia and Kitty included on the way want to help Jo with her list.

I adored Alex with his dad humor and assuredness. The book shows handling grief beautifully and how it may not be the same for each person and the grief that may come along with it. I love Nina and Jo's friendship and loved how it felt like steady ground for Jo and how we should all feel so lucky as to friendship like theirs. The blogging aspect and the way they helped her figure out a way to finish the list with all the best work arounds

Disney included

. This book had a hold on my heart and emotions and almost made me sob. I think Sarah Grunder Ruiz has definitely become one of my favorite authors.
