Someone Else's Bucket List by Amy T. Matthews
3.75

Emotional story with a feel-good ending! I liked the premise of Jodie completing Bree's bucket list but I thought that it felt a little contained at times. The whole point of a bucket list is to think outside of the box but all of the tasks were fairly simple to complete. I would have liked to see a little more creativity in the tasks that Jodie had to complete. 

I liked Jodie's character arc of learning to live her life to the fullest. I also liked that she was unapologetically interested in sports.

Despite the fact that this book was published last year, I think that the fact that Bree is an Instagram influencer rather than a TikTok influencer prematurely ages the book.
