Love, Life, and the List
Love, Life, and the List | Kasie West
What do you do when youve fallen for your best friend? Funny and romantic, this effervescent story about family, friendship, and finding yourself is perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han. Seventeen-year-old Abby Turners summer isnt going the way shed planned. She has a not-so-secret but definitely unrequited crush on her best friend, Cooper. She hasnt been able to manage her mothers growing issues with anxiety. And now shes been rejected from an art show because her work has no heart. So when she gets another opportunity to show her paintings, Abby isnt going to take any chances. Which is where the list comes in. Abby gives herself one month to do ten things, ranging from face a fear (#3) to learn a strangers story (#5) to fall in love (#8). She knows that if she can complete the list, shell become the kind of artist shes always dreamed of being. But as the deadline approaches, Abby realizes that getting through the list isnt as straightforward as it seems . . . and that maybejust maybeshe cant change her art if she isnt first willing to change herself.

My least favorite book by Kasie West because I pretty much hated the mmc and how he got away with his selfish behavior 😠 narrator did a great job, I usually enjoy Kasie west‘s writing and there were a few great side characters, but the ending left me pretty upset 🙈

Kasie West is usually good for some relaxing fluff, and this one was no different. 17-yr-old Abby really wants to have her paintings displayed at a local art show, but the director tells her that her artwork lacks "heart." Abby decides to embark on some "heart-building" activities to help inspire herself. This isn't a crazy adventure story, but I did feel like Abby was able to learn more about herself & her family & grow as a person. I also ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) really liked that she got along with her parents & her grandpa (who lives with them). Her home life wasn't perfect, but I loved the way that she would talk things out with the adults in her life instead of acting like they were her mortal enemies. While this wasn't my new favorite book, it was a perfectly enjoyable one-time read. AND - #BookSpinBingo !!!!

Also book 2/3 for #FeastMode !!! @Hestapleton

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Yay bingo!! 🤘😆🤘 This isn‘t my normal read, but your description actually has me slightly intrigued. 😅 4y
TheAromaofBooks @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm - I mean, it's YA. There's one situation in the book especially where I was rolling my eyes at the way Abby responds but... she's only 17, so I may have felt like it was the end of the world at that age also haha If you like YA, West's books are clean with some fun banter, some level of seriousness but mostly fluff. I never want to read a bunch in a row, but they're nice palate cleansers!! 4y

Another likeable story I listened this year. Love, Life, and the List was light, funny, and interesting. I really enjoyed listening it. Narrator was so great and I loved her voice.

It was my first story by Kasie and definitely will read/listen more of her works.

This goes straight to the list of books I'll never finish reading. It is that boring.

Rating: 4/5 stars.

This is my life. Just kidding. I love making lists too. But anyway, there was much hype about this during its release, but hey, I don't judge a book without reading it. It was fun while the story lasted.

Probably one of my favorite Kasie West books. It was very relatable for me as an artist when delving into the art world and trying it to find your way through the millions of other artists and to still keep your own voice. The ending was super sugary sweet. Sickly sweet, but just like the sugar addict I am, I‘m going to continue to read for more of it!

It was light, fluffy, & exactly what I needed right now. Kasie West never fails to put a smile on my face & make my heart happy. She has become my go to author when I am in dire need of a pick me up.

*Picture found on Google, not mine but I really liked it*

I don't know about anyone else but when I've had a rough couple of days I tend to go for something light/fluffy & guaranteed to make me smile & ice cream makes everything better. It is better for me than the alcohol & tears mixture that was last night. Now matter how old you are being told you are "f**king stupid" by someone you love hurts.

I was looking for a quick easy read to rack up more minutes before the end of our local library summer reading challenge. I didn't realize I'd be able to relate to the mother/daughter sub plot found inside. My own mom has shied away from social settings and crowds, but she surprised us all by taking a grocery cashier position during the recession. So proud of my mom. This was a great reminder of her daily struggle to overcome her fears.

Classic Kasie West that did not disappoint. I only wish that her female characters had a little more confidence in themselves.

Is Kasie West turning into the Nora Roberts of YA? How does she already have a new book out when the last one just pubbed this summer?? I'm impressed. Now to see if it's any good!

Lauren_reading I meet her at a book festival and she is so sweet! 7y
