Past the super cute cover is a book about moving on after a tragic loss and trying to live life in the aftermath.  It has romance and it has sweetness but it also deals with real life and Jo Walker's journey to complete a 30 by 30 bucket list and honor the memory of a loved one. There's a great cast of characters in this book including 3 teen girls that stole my heart.  There are hijinks, creative problem solving and an awesome BFF!  And a tentative and sweet romance too.  The coincidental bump ins were believable to me and I just came off a book where those coincidences were too forced and used this book as an example where it worked better for me.  I can't wait to read Nina's story next!
