"No one really hears you even when you're talking"

One of the best contemporary books I've read!

When Megan was two years old a man saved her life and gave his own in return. Fourteen years later that same man's daughter, Charlotte begins at her school and wants to talk to Megan. When he died her father left an unfinished bucket list that Charlotte now wants to finish with the help of Megan and Megan's best friend Philip. This is the beginning of a journey across America and is about forgiving others, and even harder, forgiving yourself.

Megan was a strong and relatable main character and I absolutely adored Philip with his quirkiness and that big brother role he put on himself. The character of Charlotte was beautifully written and her line about how she didn't think she was made to be happy was heartbreaking.

The theatre part was fun as well since all of the three main characters are in the school play, which is a big part of the story. Another nice thing that I enjoyed was Megan's relationship with her family and how supportive they where.

The only downside was the romantic relationships. There were two of them and they both felt a little rushed and unnecessary.

I think this book would make an amazing movie.
