5.0

From the opening pages I knew I was going to love this book. The book starts off on the end of Sarah's 29th birthday. Her friend Livvie gives her a list as a joke that she made when she was 25 and had drank too much. It's a list of goals that Sarah wished to accomplish by the time she was 30. Now that she is already 29, Sarah starts to feel the pressure immediately. She decides to take the necessary action in order to complete her list of goals in the next 12 months. Through laughter, tears, mishaps and crazy situations, Sarah sets out to conquer her list one by one.

Most women, including myself can relate to Sarah and her journey towards what she perceives as perfection. After all when we realize we are about to turn 30, we decide everything needs to be just right. This novel was a wonderful portrayal of a 20 something and the fun, along with the heartache she encounters along the way.
