Summary:

Anna's always idolized her older sister, Storm. So when Storm dies in a tragic car accident on the night of her high school graduation, Anna is completely lost and her family is torn apart. That is, until she finds Storm's summer bucket list and decides to honor her sister by having the best summer ever—which includes taking an epic road trip to the coast from her sleepy Iowa town. Setting out to do everything on Storm's list along with her sisters best friend Cameron—the boy next door—who knew that Storm's dream summer would eventually lead to Anna's own self-discovery?

My Review:

Lou's mind stars: ✭✭✭✭✭

This book took me by surprise. I did not expect to feel so much while reading it but I did. I hurt for Cameron and Anna in the beginning, to lose their sister and closest friend is something I wish to no one. I know the feeling and I could totally identify to their way of coping with it.

#15: Be brave with my life

It is one of these books I couldn't put down. I started it right before going to work and it was a major mistake on my part because it was all I could think about during these hours spent working. I wanted to finish it but at the same time I did not. I was too attached to the characters to let them go this quickly. This is one of my favorite reads of the year and I would recommend it to anyone who wants something light (with a bit of heaviness on the side) and to anyone who loves reading about road trips and summer lists.

Another thing to add is that I love this cover. I really hope it will stay the same on the released date. So much can happen until next year...
