The Next Thing On My List

I am trying to get back into my reading. This was an easy, relaxing book. No deep thoughts. June Parker is in a car accident and her passenger, Marissa, dies. June finds a list Marissa has written "20 Things to Do by My 25th Birthday. To help deal with her guilt, June decides to complete the list.
The story is a journey for June. She leaves her comfort zone to take some risks. There are goals as simple as go braless, to tougher change someones life. This becomes a journey to June to confront where she is going with her life.
Buckets lists seem to be popular topics right now. Nice angle for someone to work on someone else's list. June and Marissa only knew each other from a Weight Watchers Meeting. June is working the list without even knowing the person Marissa was.
All of that said, it is a light read. June is not a deep person. There are laughs. This is not a book club kind of book. Though I will say, my book club would have a great discussion. It is not quite a beach read. If it had not been in the 90's with killer humidity, I would have sat on my patio to read it. It is a kick back and relax book. So kick back and relax!
