The Lucky List

Love it! Totally worth splurging a little bit to get the hard cover.

This book is about a lot more than a queer romance. The main plot is about the main character’s processing and moving past her mother’s death several years earlier. The romance was a lovely side plot that built momentum as the book went on. I cried in this one. Highly recommend.

Sweet, emotional, contemporary YA book that introduces us to a new very insightful friend that shows up three summers after your mother has passed just prior to your senior year. This amazing new friend has come to help you to cope with losing your mom; makes sure you enjoy some of the best days of summer; and finally opens adventures to assist you to recognize who you truly are. Lovely little gem.

Double-edged, poignant story of a teenaged girl learning to accept her mother's death and her own sexuality. There were moments when I grew impatient with the main character, but like a lot of us, it took Emily a while to sort herself out. First person was a great choice for this story, and the concept of the "list" was genius. Right to the heart. Great Story! T.J. Jones PS I accidentally deleted this from my Kindle Library and had to rebuy it to read it again. Worth every penny!

I loved the book and it shipped very quickly so I think buying it was worth it. Buying a book that was used or like new made it so much cheaper and it was still in great condition.

The Lucky List by Rachael Lippincott is a coming of age story about healing and self-discovery. Emily and her mom were always lucky. Anything they did or touched seemed to bring them good fortunes. Until her mom’s luck ran out. Three years ago, her mom lost her battle with cancer and nothing felt right to Emily again. During the summer before her senior year, things are worse than ever. Emily ruined things with her boyfriend, Matt, and she and her dad have to move from her childhood home. The only person she has to talk to is Blake, a girl she hasn't seen since they were little. When cleaning out her mom’s closet, Emily finds a list. Her mom’s senior year summer bucket list and Blake challenges her to do the list herself. With Blake’s help, Emily sets out to tick off each item and face the fears that have been holding her back. Can she find the lost connection with her mom while moving forward in her life? Does she have the courage to accept the new path her life has taken?The Lucky List is a sweet, heartfelt young adult novel about discovery. Discovery about yourself and discovery about loved ones who have gone. It is a story about being yourself regardless of the opinions of others. I enjoyed the main theme of the story of grief. It is obvious that Emily had not worked through her grief and her dad’s determination to seemingly erase her mother’s memory only hurts Emily more. While I have not lost my mother, I understood her grief as reminders of her mother were everywhere in their small town. It is a fairly easy read with a few plot twists that wasn’t really a surprise, especially if the reader is reading closely. I enjoyed that Emily was learning about her mom as a person rather than just her mom. I enjoyed the aspects of high school drama. I also appreciated that Ms. Lippincott didn’t overplay the drama. It was there as an aspect of the story but it didn’t overwhelm it. Overall, I enjoyed the story and if you enjoy reading young adult novels, I recommend The Lucky List.The Lucky List is available in hardcover, eBook and audiobook.

Usually I judge a romcom by whether I cry happy tears at the end. And while no tears were shed and I didn’t even get Misty I still really enjoyed this.

It was in great condition and is a great book.
