I normally don’t read “women’s fiction” but I was assured this one had an HEA ending, so I picked it up.
Once Upon a List by Robin Gold
(2012, Women’s Fiction) 7/26/12
Grade: 4
After the death of her fiancé, Clara is adrift and unsure of what to do next. But when she comes across her fifth grade time capsule, with a list of things she wanted to do before she turned 35. She decides to fulfill the list – and ends up with a one-eared dog, kissing her old crush, reconnecting with her family, finding her best friend and changing her life.
This was more of a women’s fiction book than a romance, but it was well written and enjoyable. This is the kind of book I would recommend to someone who didn’t necessarily read romance but wanted an upbeat, “feel-good” story. There were some flaws – the middle dragged a bit and the romance was extremely underwritten, but otherwise it was a light hearted and enjoyable story with relatable characters. A good read.
