Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. So very bad! Actually I never want to read another Jane Costello book again. It took me a month to read this. There was more eye rolling going on than that moron out of 50 shades of grey. No substance, predictable, crap lead character, boring, pointless crap. Did I mention I hated this! Still read it though so my bad because it didn't get any better! Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLING AUTHOR There are six months left of Emma Reiss's twenties and she has some unfinished business ... Emma and her friends are about to turn thirty, and for Emma it's a defining moment. Defined, that is, by her having achieved none of the things she'd imagined she would. Her career is all wrong, her love life is a desert and that penthouse apartment she pictured herself in simply never materialised. Moreover, she's never jumped out of a plane, hasn't met the man she's going to marry, has never slept under the stars, or snogged anyone famous - just some of the aspirations on a list she and her friends compiled fifteen years ago. As an endless round of birthday parties approaches, Emma sets about addressing these issues. But, as she discovers with hilarious consequences, some of them are trickier to tick off than she'd thought ... Full of warmth, friendship, fun and laughter, The Wish List is a novel to devour!

Emma is six months away from her 30th birthday when she finds the wish list she made with her friends at the age of 15 (actually I’d call it more of a bucket list than a wish list) showing all the things they hope to achieve by the time they were 30. To her disappointment, Emma realises that she has not managed to even achieve one item – not even grow her hair long!
So with half a year to go, she decides to complete the list, and along the way she discovers a few things about herself and a few things about her closest friends. It’s typical chick-lit, so of course there is a heavy emphasis on romance and female friendships, with her closest friends Cally and Asha playing fairly large roles in the book.
On the good side, Jane Costello does throw in some good one-liners; it’s an undemanding read/listen and it kept my attention – I certainly did not find myself drifting off. On the bad side, it’s very predictable – there are sub-plots and I correctly guessed the outcome of all of them (as well as the outcome of the main plot). This is a fairly common thing with chick-lit though, and you always know what to expect when you read a book like this – for a lot of readers, that’s the attraction which is absolutely understandable – so maybe my gripe is not entirely fair.
I felt that Alex Tregear did a reasonable job of narrating the story, even if some of the accents were a bit over the top. I preferred Girl On The Run by the same author, but I would probably listen to another book by Jane Costello and would recommend her to chick-lit fans. ( )
