"A poignant look at how the bonds of sisterhood can shape our lives." -Namrata Patel, author of The Candid Life of Meena Dave Readers of Josie Silver and Rebecca Serle will adore this bingeworthy, bittersweet P.S. I Love You for the digital age. After the untimely death of her outgoing, hugely successful influencer sister, an introverted woman takes on the terrifying challenge of completing her sister's bucket list as the world watches, in a bid to save her family-and others-from the crippling medical debt her cancer battle left behind. My dying wish is for you to finish my bucket list. I refuse to die without knowing this list will be completed. And I refuse to die without knowing my family will be okay . . . Jodie Boyd is a shy and anxious twenty-something, completely unsure what to do with her life. Her older sister, Bree, is an adventurous, globe-trotting, hugely successful Instagram influencer with more than a million followers. She's the most alive person Jodie knows-up until Bree's unfathomable, untimely death from Leukemia. The Boyds are devastated, not to mention overwhelmed with medical debt. But Bree thought of everything-and soon, Jodie is shocked by a new post on her sister's Instagram feed. The first of many Bree recorded in secret, the post foretells a jaw-dropping challenge for Jodie: to complete Bree's very public bucket list. From "Fly over Antarctica," to "Perform a walk-on cameo in a Broadway musical," if Jodie does it-and keeps all Bree's followers-a corporate sponsor will pay off the staggering medical debt. If she gains followers, the Boyds won't be the only ones to benefit. It's crazy. It's terrifying. It's impossible, immoral even, to refuse. So, despite the whole world watching, Jodie plunges in, never imagining that in death, her sister will teach her how to live, and that the last item on the list-"Fall in love"-may just prove to be the easiest. "A moving story. This life-affirming tale reminds us that happiness is possible if we find the courage to reach for it." -Jamie Beck, Wall Street Journal bestselling author "I loved Someone Else's Bucket List. It begins by breaking your heart then takes you by surprise by becoming uplifting and utterly galvanizing. Best of all, though, it's a stirring celebration of the power of sisterhood!" -Matt Cain, author of The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle

      The first chapters of this family drama will be hard to bear if the listener has recently lost a loved one. In a gentle, sympathetic voice, narrator Brenda Scott Wlazlo tells the story of Instagram superstar Bree Boyd, whose glamorous life is cut short by cancer. Jodie Boyd commits to completing her late sister's bucket list while being followed on Instagram in return for Bree's medical bills being paid off. The stunts Jodie must undertake are outrageous and entertaining. Wlazlo also expresses Jodie's doubts and fears in a voice that sounds young and vulnerable. As the story progresses, it turns into a rather predictable romance. But the family part of the story is both heartrending and heartwarming. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
