In this utterly charming debut â€” one woman sets out to complete her old list of childhood goals, and finds that her lifelong dreams lead her down a path she never expects.,1. Go to Paris,2. Perform live, on a super big stage,3. Have a baby, maybe two,4. Fall in love,Â ,Brett Bohlinger has forgotten all about the list of life goals sheâ€™d written as a naÃ¯ve teenager. In fact, at thirty-four, Brett seems to have it allâ€”a plum job at her familyâ€™s multimillion-dollar company and a spacious loft with her irresistibly handsome boyfriend. But when her beloved mother, Elizabeth, dies, Brettâ€™s world is turned upside down. Rather than simply naming her daughter the new CEO of Bohlinger Cosmetics, Elizabethâ€™s will comes with one big stipulation: Brett must fulfill the list of childhood dreams she made so long ago. ,Grief-stricken, Brett can barely make sense of her motherâ€™s decision. Some of her old hopes seem impossible. How can she possibly have a relationship with a father who died seven years ago? Other dreams (Be an awesome teacher!) would require her to reinvent her entire future. For each goal attempted, her mother has left behind a bittersweet letter, offering words of wisdom, warmth, andâ€”just when Brett needs itâ€”tough love. ,As Brett struggles to complete her abandoned life list, one thing becomes clear: Sometimes lifeâ€™s sweetest gifts can be found in the most unexpected places.
