Description

The first book from Julie Murphy, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin'—now a Netflix feature film starring Danielle Macdonald and Jennifer Aniston, with a soundtrack by Dolly Parton!

For fans of John Green and Rainbow Rowell comes this powerful novel about a girl with cancer who creates a take-no-prisoners bucket list that sets off a war at school—only to discover she's gone into remission.

When sixteen-year-old Alice is diagnosed with leukemia, she vows to spend her final months righting wrongs. So she convinces her best friend, Harvey, to help her with a crazy bucket list that's as much about revenge as it is about hope.

But just when Alice's scores are settled, she goes into remission, and now she must face the consequences of all she's said and done.

Contemporary realistic fiction readers who love romantic stories featuring strong heroines will find much to savor in this standout debut.

    You get infatuated in this book when it’s towards the end, at least for me. Not because you’re happy to be done with it but because when you realize that the characters have more depth than you think, you start to enjoy it. This book makes you pay more attention to the events around you and the feelings of others. It makes you think about all of your actions and the consequences to them. Yes, this book is amazing but I took away one star because it takes that long for you to really enjoy it. You’re not swooped in on the first chapter but rather slowly gliding in on the last one hundred pages.

    This book is a twisted and unrealistic love story, a breath of fresh air from the fantasy love story in books nowadays

    This book is by far my favorite book! When I was on the last page I tried to read as slowly as I could so it would never end! Haha! And when I did finish it I thought I lost a page or something because of that pesky little cliff hanger that actually kind of made me like the book even more. I finished reading this book in less than 3 days.. and it usually takes me about 3 weeks to finish one, but this book was soo good I couldn't put it down! Love this books can't wait for more like it! That'd be cool if Julie made a series out this♥️
