Blurb:
When my best friend died of cancer just before her eighteenth birthday, she left her coveted bucket list to me.

The things she already crossed off? Skinny dipping, going to Paris, completing the local hot wing challenge, road tripping to the ocean, and sending out a message in a bottle.

So, it falls on me to finish it for her, to honor her memory. In the next year, it’s my mission to:

1. Dye my hair
2. Have sex
3. Camp out in a tent
4. Go bungee jumping
5. Get revenge on Lincoln Kolb


Most are doable, some terrify me, and then there is the last item on the list. When the raven-haired football god dumped my best friend during senior year of high school, she was devastated. The jerk with charm for days found out she was sick, and betrayed her in the worst way possible.

But he doesn’t know me, I went to school a town over. Now, to fulfill my promise, I’m the newest freshman on the campus where he is the big man. If there is one thing, aside from cheap beer, that a jock can’t pass up, it’s a shiny new girl.

So when I catch his eye, play hard to get, and then fall into his bed, I know my scheme is working to perfection. But what Lincoln can’t see coming is the beatdown I have planned for his ice-cold heart.

Unfortunately, what I never saw coming was the one he had planned for mine.


Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book gave me all the feels. It was emotional at times and nerve-wracking at others.

When Henley's best friend Catherine realized her time was limited, she created a bucket list. After she passes, Henley sets out to finish it. The last item on the list - Get revenge on Lincoln Kolb.

When Henley sets her plan in motion, she doesn't expect to actually LIKE Lincoln. 

Lincoln has his own secrets and through this journey, both Lincoln and Henley have to decide  to just enjoy the ride or take a chance and be more than just a freshman fling. 

It took me a bit to like Henley at first but the further along I got, she grew on me. I loved the story and the way it played out. I'm glad the author didn't just wave her magical wand and make everything better. She kept it realistic in the end. When someone's trust is broken, it's very rare for someone to just forgive and forget so easily. The author acknowledges this.

About the Author:
Author of romance novels such as The Tenth Girl and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code, much better.

When she isn't writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She’s a Jersey girl living in Texas with her husband, daughter and furry son.
