The Next Thing on My List

The Next Thing on My List by Jill Smolinski, is a novel about June Parker. June makes the acquaintance of a young girl named Marissa Jones at Weight Watchers and after offering her a ride home, they are involved in an unusual traffic accident and the girl dies. Finding the girl's list, 20 things to do before 25, June decides to accomplish the goals for her to sort of set things right for the girl's untimely death. The tasks range from watching a sunrise to running a 5k to kiss a stranger and on to the more serious one of change someone's life. The list itself is interesting and I really enjoyed June's attitude and her hopes for the mission she has chosen. Ordinary people meeting unusual circumstances have created a gently thought provoking read. What would your list be before 25? before 50? before 75? It is something to think about.
Not exactly chick lit but certainly a woman's story.
