About this listen

Poppy Maysen carries a journal in her purse. Its pages were filled long ago by a man who craved adventure, lived life to the fullest, and never failed to make her laugh. The journal is his birthday list - one she vows to complete.

She'll do the things he wanted to do most. Because maybe, just maybe, if she can finish his list, she can start to live again.

Poppy expects going through the birthday list will be hard. She expects it to hurt. But what she doesn't expect is Cole. Could the man who watched her heart shatter be the one to put it back together again?

This is a story about Poppy and Cole's journey to closure, forgiveness, and second-chances.
It was super sweet, filled with many beautiful moments of redemption and love.
There was eventually spice, but it didn't do much for me in the way of wow factor.
All in all, it was just a sweet love story with a classic HEA.

Pretty sure this is my first read/listen by Devney Perry and I so enjoyed the story and the characters.
Wasn't quite what I was expecting after reading the blurb and was unsure I was going to enjoy.
Looking forward to my next credit so I can read the second book in the series (Molly).
Would certainly recommend.
Great narration.
Two thumbs up.

This book is about devastating loss and finding the strength to lift yourself up from the depths of despair, and allowing yourself to live and live again. The storyline is beautifully written and full of emotions, and it’s a reminder that we all deserve a second chance to love, and if you just open yourself up to it, you never know what the universe has in store for you.
