The Bucket List to Mend a Broken Heart Paperback – March 10, 2016

If there were check boxes to tick off in scoring this novel, I'd have marked most of them with high numbers. Laugh out loud funny and witty, it was totally enjoyable.Abi was so into her boyfriend Joseph, but he unfortunately was not that invested. She schemed to get him back by doing his bucket list, hoping to get his attention. So intent and focused was she on the tasks that she failed to see anything else.Funny and witty, yes, but the story also inspires the reader to be true to one's self; and be not afraid to get outside the comfort zone. This book reminded me why I love chick lit so much, so I'm going on a rampage...on to the next book!

This book sat in my Kindle for I don't know how long. So glad I decided to read it. It was a fun and easy to keep track of story, that touched on hard to deal with issues in relationships.I enjoyed Abi being able to make up her own mind at the right time for herself, and that Ben didn't give up on love.(Ana R.-Klarich)

The premise is a good one—Abi thinks she's about to get engaged, but gets dumped instead. When her boyfriend drops off a box of her stuff from his apartment, accidentally included in the box was his own bucket list of "things to do"— mostly adventurous stuff like cycling and absailing. She decides to do his list, post her adventures on Facebook, so he'll see she's the perfect woman for him. Overall, it was cute, although at times a bit silly (like, a grown woman who is supposedly so clumsy she can't even ride a bike?) I kind of skimmed at the end since it was pretty obvious where it was going. Recommended to me by a friend who loved it.

I enjoyed the book and was pleased with the predictable and happy ending. The characters were well developed, and the little workplace twist at the end was good. I give four stars only because I think some parts were superfluous and the book could have been shortened by some 50 pages. Overall, this was fun reading. I recommend this one.

I enjoyed this book. It was a great read and the characters were very likable. It also has inspired me to create my own bucket list- not of things to do before I die- but to try new things and find new joy in my life. I am just coming out of a breakup and after reading this book I am encouraged to move on and do what I have wanted to do or even try things that I have been afraid of doing. Would recommend this book for a fun read or if you are feeling stuck in life. Thank you Anna for the great tips at the end of the book.

This book was exactly what I needed for our long journey home from Spring Break. It is fun chick lit at it's best, keeping you laughing, smiling, shaking your head and even tearing up at one point. The story development and cast of characters puts me in mind of the Shopaholic and Bridget Jones series'. I didn't want the story to end, and even though it was somewhat predictable I actually was inspired by the bucket list concept. There are so many light reading options out there these days it can be overwhelming. I finally found one I thoroughly enjoyed!

I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did! I love how the story and characters are so relatable even though I've been in Abi's shoes before. It's refreshing to read life from Abi's POV. I also could't help chuckling now and then from Abi's quirkiness.The book has also made me question myself. Why do I like the guy I like? There's hardly any communication between us. Am I being blinded?And Abi has also helped me realise I need to start listing my own bucket list. How I've never started is beyond me.

I enjoyed the book for the most part. I just thought the idea of our main character sounded like something Lucy Ricardo would dream up. It's great that she crossed out of her comfort zone and made some discoveries (which I did like), but the story seemed pretty predictable. The majority of romantic novels or in this case, a rom-com novel are figured out by the first few chapters. I don't really have a problem with that because I generally enjoy the process of how it comes together near the end.
