The Next Thing on My List

Promises, promises. sigh. This books started out so promising. Main characters that didn't start out neurotic. The idea of finishing someone's bucket list because they can't as a plot. Minor family characters that were a little bit crazy but not too crazy.

And then it all went downhill. Sane characters became over the top. The plot that spiraled into a chaotic mess (that's who Buddy Fitch was? Seriously? That's the big mystery? ugh). And me figuring out how all the major and minor storylines were going to be tied up over 150 pages before the end (and it's only a 300 pg book. Well except the Buddy Fitch thing, but honestly that felt completely tacked on, like the author suddenly realized she never provided an answer to the big mystery. I still think the general idea of the story was good, it just needed better execution.

I did like the authors style, so I may give one her other books a try.
