The Next Thing on My List by Jill Smolinski

3.0

I really enjoyed this one and read it very quickly - started on Friday and finished on Saturday. I really liked how June throws herself into completing Marissa's list, even if it wasn't initially her plan and she only said it so Marissa's brother wouldn't be angry that she kept the list from the family. June goes on such a remarkable personal journey and meets some wonderful people along the way. That is why I liked the book. I would have given it another star if it wasn't for the romantic aspect of the story. I think it kind of took away from the grander theme of self discovery. I'm sure some people appreciated it but I don't think it would have bothered me if she hadn't ended up with anyone (but I'm not telling you who!) This was a nice read, quick but with a good story to it and I would definitely recommend it!
