Synopsis

On the cusp of middle age, a newlywed journalist discovers and finishes the bucket list of her late free-spirited father.

Fifty-four adventures in six years. That’s what thirty-eight-year-old journalist Laura Carney embarked on when she discovered her late father Mick’s bucket list.

Killed in a car crash when Laura was twenty-five, Mick seemed lost forever. My Father’s List is the story of how one woman—with the help of family, friends, and even strangers—found the courage to go after her own dreams after realizing those of a beloved yet mysterious
man. This is a story about secrets—and the freedom we feel when we learn to trust again: in life, in love, and in a father’s lessons on how to fully live.

Goodreads review by Martha on March 16, 2024

It's just all mixed up -- past, far past, present, back and forth, and you never know what order the events happen. Too many people to keep track of, and too many tears. I don't think some of the items she checked off the list were really completed ("own a big house on my own property," for example.......more

I like the premise but it skipped around a bit, a little drawn out. Just ok......more
