Shocked by her daughter’s secret life, Connie tucks her list in her back pocket and does something utterly impulsive: she hops on a plane to New York City to track down Jessica—and winds up on the wildest adventure of her life. Because with her daughter’s help, Connie’s about to let her own inner bombshell see the light of day.
Now, for the first time ever, things are flying off Connie’s list. Like reconnecting with her daughter. And getting tipsy before noon. And the most startlingly extraordinary desire of all: falling in love.

I buy unabridged books on CD for my long distance travels by car. Last fall I made several trips and was so happy that I picked this recorded book. I was captivated beginning with the first paragraph! I am just so thankful that I had the capability in my vehicle to "replay" several excerpts just to laugh one more time. I laughed so hard at times I had to pull off the road! As a woman in her fifties I related to the main character and grew to love the direction the author was taking her. She led me down a very unexpected path. In listening to this addictive novel depicting a mother-daughter bond (or lack thereof) I was definitely inspired. This is a book on CD that you will not be able to leave. I was sitting in the parking lot of my destination listening to "just another few minutes" quite often.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I have a list like this but not of dreams but after reading this I just started one. This book is about a mother daughter who have not really spoken to one another in a very long time. Yet her mom finds a box of her older daughters stuff in it. What she finds out shocks her yet intrigues her to fly to New York and start her list of dreams. And from there her list just comes flying off one by one. The mother gets her life back and her daughter and the daughter finds out who she really is by help from her friends and her mother who happen to become friends with her friends.
