Book News: The Life List by Lori Nelson Spielman

I have to confess that I hadn't heard of this debut novel until it came through my post box last week, but after seeing the gorgeous cover and reading the blurb, I'm very excited to read Lori Nelson Spielman's new book. The Life List is due out on 1st August, so not long to wait, and it sounds fantastic.

You can pre-order The Life List as a paperback or an eBook now.

"Things to do when I grow up:

1. Have a baby

2. Fall in love

3. Perform live on a super-big stage

Brett Bohlinger seems to have it all: a plum job, a spacious loft and an irresistibly handsome boyfriend. That is, until her beloved mother passes away leaving behind a will with one big stipulation: in order to receive her inheritance, Brett must first complete the life list of goals she'd written when she was fourteen.

Grief-stricken, Brett cannot believe she can ever fulfil her mother's wishes, because to do so would mean losing her job, her apartment, and her boyfriend.

But as Brett reluctantly embarks on a perplexing journey in search of her adolescent dreams, one thing becomes clear: sometimes life's sweetest gifts can be found in the most unexpected places."
