Feci benissimo! L'idea della lista dei desideri era proprio quello di cui avevo bisogno e la protagonista sembra proprio fatta apposta per me, ha addirittura anche la mia stessa età. L'ho divorato in un giorno, non riuscivo a smettere di leggere.
La storia é molto toccante ma senza essere triste, l'ironia della protagonista (e della scrittrice, ovviamente) riempie il libro e lo rende più leggero. É bello assistere alla crescita di Brett, ai suoi tentativi, alle sue cadute ma soprattutto alle sue vittorie. E l'idea della lista é poetica e ispiratrice, ne ho fatta anche io una cosí. Aspettando di veder spuntare un cappotto Burberry anche sulla mia strada!

Sometimes happens that books arrive in that moment when you need them more, like a boon. This book arrived in my life in one of those moments. I was sad and depressed and I went in my favourite library hoping to find some book that makes me not thinking about my life. I had the titles of three books from my to-read-list but, unbelievably, they weren't available. At a first sight, I had said no to this one because looked like ordinary, but at the end I took it.
I did it very well!! The idea of the Life List was exactly what I needed and the main character fits so well to me, she is the same age too. I devoured it in a day, I couldn't stop to read.
The story is very touching without being sad, the wit of the main character (and of the writer, of course) fills up the book and makes it lighter. It's beautiful participate to Brett's development, her attempts, her falls but especially her victories. And the idea of the list is so poetical and inspirational, that I made it one for myself. Waiting the appearance of a Burberry coat in my life!
