The Life List Review, Quotes and EXCERPTION by Lori Nelson Spielman



So this story is about a girl who lost her mother and betrayed when she found out her mother left her nothing. All life, she's been comfortable. Her mother is a great woman which took care of everything.
And her mother left her CEO position to her sister-in-law, Catherine, like I said, felt betrayed.
I mean who did this? You left your company to your daughter when you died, except your daughter has zero potential for CEO position of your company.
So you guys might think it's because Brett and her mom have a bad relationship. But that's not it. In fact, her mother loves her dearly. Her mother died of cancer so, the death wasn't unexpected.

Brett, she used to have a list when she was a kid. The life she's living (with her boyfriend Andrew) isn't the one she once wanted.
There, from the book

“I glance over at my sleeping boyfriend. Why have I given up on the life I once wanted? Is that little girl still rambling around inside me, feeling unworthy? Is my mother right? Have I forsaken my own dreams in a desperate attempt to win Andrew’s approval—the approval I never received from my father? No, that’s ridiculous. I decided years ago my father’s approval meant nothing to me. So why haven’t I fought for my dreams? Because Andrew had different aspirations, and I chose to follow his? No, that’s just the bighearted, self-sacrificing version of me I like to imagine. As much as I hate to admit it, there’s something else, something much less noble …”

So yes, Andrew is her current boyfriend.
And turns out he isn't the love of her life.

It's pretty interesting. Actually, it's like a page-turner. The book makes me guess what is gonna happen, make you curious...
And if you're searching for something going steadily, not a major heart-broken dark theme, this book is your light read. You totally read it for once. This book encouraged me that I could be like her, do something passionate. Something that I wanted to do not something I do because that something doesn't have to go out of my comfort zone.
And there, quotes, lovely quotes :)


Love is the one thing on which you should never compromise

There will be another sky, my love, just you wait


Roosevelt once said, “Do something every day that scares you.” Continue to push yourself to do those things that scare you, darling. Take those risks and see where you land, for they are the very things that make this journey worthwhile.
