My Review - Kicking The Bucket List - (6/3/17)

Kicking The Bucket List - 

By Cathy Hopkins

10☆ 

I loved every single minute of this book.

If I could award 10 stars I would.

Cathy has put a lot of work into getting this book just right.
 It's original and clever.
I applaud her for creating something different for death and grief is often such a sensitive subject.

I loved the Kicking the bucket list idea, the characters and the challenges.
I felt like I was part of the story I was drawn in from the very beginning and felt like I was on the journey with the Sisters.

The story starts with Rose, Dee (Daisy) and Fleur.
Their mother passes away and they are called in to read the will.
However their mother has other ideas!
All 3 sisters have to complete a series of bucket list challenges set by their mother and her 2 friends in order to get their inheritance.

Simple you may think!
However each sister has to participate or they all lose everything!

Slight problem with this..... None of the Sisters get on and have been estranged and barely speaking.

It quickly becomes clear. Their mum wants them to repair their relationships with each other. Part of the agreement is that they spend several weekends together completing the challanges.

Now I don't want to give any more away except, I laughed alot, I shed tears as there are some tender heart breaking moments, there is love, lust and relationships, family drama, friendship bonds, and a whole lot of sass between the Sisters which I loved!!

Each sister is own their own personal journey within the story. Dee is about to be evicted from her home and needs her inheritance, Rose wants for nothing and Fleur is desperate to be part of a family again.

Then there is Daniel. He is in charge of the Sisters bucket list. Making sure each sister participates and handles the expenses.
Daniel is charming and intriguing. But what is he's end game? There is just something about him!

My only critiscm is that it ended too quick I wanted more!
I felt there was a few questions that i needed answering for my own curiosity!
I have since spoken to the Author and she has cleared my curiosity.
I would be interested to see if anyone else felt there was answers they would of liked to of known.

But overall I absolutely loved this book.
Such a gem to read.
The chapters were short and snappy and kept me engaged the whole way through.
I loved each and every character and felt I really got to know them all on a personal level which was so nice.

I highly recommend this book as it has a great original concept.
Kicking the Bucket List is such an original idea and each challenge is perfectly thought out and researched.
You can tell Cathy Hopkins has spent alot of time researching the challenges to get them perfect for the journey each sister takes.
