I really enjoyed this book. In fact, it's one of those great books that is too good to keep--you WANT to pass it on to someone else bc the book is just so good! The characters are well-written and believable, which is hard to do, imo, for a story involving the death of a young woman. As others have said, I read this book within 2 days, I simply could not put it down. I didn't cry, but I was very moved by June's intentions and her actions in the book. I was also inspired to write my own list!
I highly recommend this book, and this is an author to watch. 4.5 stars out of 5, only bc I wanted to read more of the story. Don't get me wrong, it's a fully completed book; I just didn't want to say goodbye to the characters so soon.
I just read on Jill Smolinski's site that this is going to be a movie!! Being made by the same people who made "The Devil Wears Prada" which I thought was very good, especially if you didn't just read the book.

What a surprising read! I picked it up because I thought the premise sounded interesting, but I devoured this book in less than 24 hours. What a great little book. A heartwarming and touching tale. A bit (with the baby stuff) was a bit over the top for me, but it was still a great piece of fiction. This would be great for reading while at the pool! Really good!

A humorous and heartfelt novel about remembering the important things in life. It reminded me of Bridgett Jones' Diary in the way that the best made plans never work out like they are imagined.

"The next thing on my list" is one of my new favorite books. I couldn't put it down, I just kept routing for June to finish the tasks. A could guess where the end was going to, but there was quite the curve ball thrown in. Great story!
