A review by lazygal
The Throwback List by Lily Anderson

3.0

Sometimes you just want to give a character a shake and tell them to stop being such an idiot. Jo is one such character, recently fired and wallowing in it. When she moves home to her parents, she finds an old "before high school ends bucket list" that she decides will make great content for her rebranded social media presence (because, obviously, that's what the Millennial version of a yuppie does: creates online content for themselves or a job). Where did she grow up? A small town. No further plot description needed.

Yes, this is incredibly predictable. And yet... there were moments when readers will genuinely cheer for Jo, or Bianca, or Autumn. And that elevates this from a two-star.
