Different romcom

The story starts right away with the funeral of Ally in 2011, first I thought is such a sad start really the beginning of a romcom book? However, after the sad event of Becca and Charlie’s loss of Ally, you quickly learn more about them. On the first anniversary of her death, they both visit Ally’s mother as they have received a message to do such. There appears to be a bucket list Ally had and she wants her two most loved persons to take care of this list together. They decide to start doing one item of the list around her birthday for the next coming years.

Over the cause of the next years, they share experiences together and you learn to know Becca and Charlie quite well. The various items from the bucket list have Becca and Charlie to work and do things together, which is something they never did; there was always Ally who was their binding factor.

In 2016, they finish the fifth and last item from the bucket list, the book then continues in 2017 with some encounters between Becca and Charlie and you just cannot help thinking please guys….
The last chapter in 2020, was a little surprise to me.

A different book than others as it spans so many years and touches only a few days of these previous years. For sure a romcom book, perfect to make into a movie.
