Georgia Clark
Georgia Clark is a contemporary romance author best known for The Bucket List novel. Other notable works include It Had to Be You, The Regulars, and Parched. In all these stories, you meet women who find love in themselves and others despite the tough situations they encounter in life.
Clark was born in Australia, but she later moved to the US and lived in New York for over a decade. She later relocated to Brooklyn, where she currently lives. In addition to being a renowned novelist, Clark is also the founder of a few live shows. She also enjoys sleeping in and occasionally indulging in fun and salty snacks.
The Bucket List
The Bucket List stars Lacey Whitman, a 25-year-old woman who has just learned that she carries the BCRA1 mutation. With this mutation, Lacey is at a high risk of getting breast cancer. Doctors offer two solutions to save her life: increased monitoring which will involve tons of doctors’ appointments, or a preventative double mastectomy.
Lacey isn’t ready to lose her breasts. At least not until she has put them to work. After living a sheltered life before coming to New York, Lacey knows little about her sexuality. Her busy schedule juggling two careers does not make her life any easier. She also doesn’t want to visit the doctors now and then. What is a girl to do when confronted with such hard choices?
With the help of friends, Lacey comes up with a boob bucket list. This list marks the beginning of a sensual exploration year for Lacey. Her journey and escapades will make you laugh out loud, but the serious tone and Lacey’s weighty decision help balance things out.
Even when she is having the time of her life, Lacey often has to worry about her health. Fortunately, she has enough friends to help her celebrate the good times and handle the challenge she encounters on her journey.
There is a twist to this story; as Lacey ticks items off her bucket list, she starts to understand herself and her body. She begins to accept the possibility of losing both her breasts and understands that she can choose to be a victim or fully embrace who she is and feel empowered. Her diagnosis did not mean that she couldn’t have the life she always wanted. Even without breasts, Lacey could achieve all the goals she had set for herself.
This is a smarty, witty, and saucy book on women’s empowerment and their bodies. Many would be insecure if, in Lacey’s shoes, it is amazing that she looks past her limitations and whatever isn’t working for her. From the story, it is clear that the author has researched BRCA1 and its physical and mental effects on the body. The information is accurate, and anyone with this gene can borrow a lot from Lacey’s experience.
The Bucket List is an intriguing read with emotion, humor, and tenderness. Lacey’s journey to self-acceptance will make you laugh, and you can but admire her for her courage. The sex scenes bring just the right amount of light to a story with so many hard decisions to make.
It is easy to fall in love with Lacey and wish her well in her adventures. The narration is well done, and the pacing is just right for this kind of story.
