The Bucket List by Georgia Clark was a great read, and an excellent, remarkable portrayal about being in your mid-twenties, covering everything from friendship to work to romantic relationships to family, regardless of the added cancer scare.
Lacey Whitman is a fun protagonist who end up making a lot of different life-choices than me, but that’s what makes her interesting to read — we’re complete opposites in almost every conceivable way! I also appreciated that when she made poor choices, her friends didn’t let her get away with them (or not for very long anyway) or chalk them up to her diagnosis, which I appreciated because so often, protagonists can treat everyone else like crap and the book just carries on with little-to-no repercussions for them, which I find very unrealistic.
Also fair warning this book is full of steamy scenes, but some of them are skippable without losing too much of the plot, if you prefer. Just depends on your level of comfort! I do think the “p***y” word is used way too much, but I’m chalking it up to Clark being Australian and me absolutely despising that word with all my heart.
Despite all the sex and romance, The Bucket List is really a story about women supporting women through remarkable hardships and that makes it a compelling, personal and emotional read. If you haven’t read this one yet, I’d definitely encourage you to pick it up!
