The Bucket List to Mend a Broken Heart Review: Light And Warm Like A Cozy Blanket
I was so impressed by Becky Monson’s ‘Thirty-Two Going On Spinster’ that I started looking for more chick-lit novels. While scrolling through the Kindle store I found this really cool title and purchased it after reading a very enticing sample. ‘The Bucket List to Mend a Broken Heart’ is written like a rom-com movie. It feels more like a movie script than a novel. And I mean it in a good way because I personally LOVED the book and couldn’t keep it down. I used to dig my nose in it whenever I could spare time because I was so eager to read more. I finished the book in two days and am still sad that it got over so soon. 🙂 I enjoyed every page of this book and here are some reasons why you too will enjoy this book.

Wallowing in self-pity she cleans through the box and chances upon a bucket list left in a book. The list contains all the things Joseph wishes to do in life. Abi sees this as her only way to have Joseph back in her life and she determines to complete his list to lure him back to her.
