Thirty Days to Thirty by Courtney Psak










From Goodreads

What if you were on the cusp of marrying the guy of your dreams and reaching that career goal you set for yourself, only for all of it to be taken away in one fell swoop?

What if this all happened a month before you turned 30?

This is the story of Jill Stevens, who after moving back home, finds a list she made in high school of thirty things she wanted to accomplish before her thirtieth birthday.

With a month left and hardly anything crossed off her list, she teams up with old friends to accomplish as much as she can before the big 3-0. Along the way, she discovers her true self and realizes it’s not about the material successes in life but the journey.

My thoughts

This book has been on my Kindle for ages (over 5 years), it's a book that I was lucky to get via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I first started reading this book back in 2016, but didn't get very far with at all for some reason.  In an attempt to read some of my older NetGalley reads, I chose this one to read.

I enjoyed this contemporary story about Jill, who is fast approaching her 30th Birthday and comes up with a plan to make a list of 30 things to do before she turns 30.  Not all the things on her list are huge things to achieve, yet they are things that she fancies doing.  Like most of us, life often gets in the way of our plans and Jill finds that as she nears 30 fast, that she's hardly achieved anything on her list.  With the help of friends and family, Jill takes on the challenge to fulfil the list.

I wish that I'd come up with a plan like this or even 40 things to do before 40 or 50 things to do before 5o.  I still have some time to make a list of 60 things to do before turning 60.

To see how Jill and her friends do, you need to grab a copy of this for yourself and settle down with a cuppa or a glass of wine to enjoy as you immerse yourself in Jill's world.
