Read by Rebecca Gibel.
Brett Bohlinger seems to have it all: a plum job, a spacious loft, an irresistibly handsome boyfriend. All in all, a charmed life. That is, until her beloved mother passes away, leaving behind a will with one big stipulation: In order to receive her inheritance, Brett must first complete the life list of goals she'd written when she was a naive girl of fourteen. Grief-stricken, Brett can barely make sense of her mother's decision--her childhood dreams don't resemble her ambitions at age thirty-four in the slightest. Some seem impossible. How can she possibly have a relationship with a father who died seven years ago? Other goals (Be an awesome teacher!) would require her to reinvent her entire future. As Brett reluctantly embarks on a perplexing journey in search of her adolescent dreams, one thing becomes clear. Sometimes life's sweetest gifts can be found in the most unexpected places.

Mother Knows Best submitted by osbornk on July 14, 2018, 12:54pm Ugh. I wouldn't normally even *finish* a book (especially an audiobook) that I rate with no better than two stars. But, I wanted to be a able to write a quick review and I don't think it's fair to review something without finishing it. However, this really was a formulaic slog. Obstacles encountered, obstacles conquered. Obstacles created, obstacles overcome. Guardian angels. White saviors. Knights in shining armor. 34 year-old woman needs to learn life lessons. This is one heart-felt mess!
