   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  whakaora | Mar 5, 2023 |   This was a great story, full of heavy moments and light, funny ones as Lacey explores her sexuality in a quest to have a “bucket list” of experiences before potentially making the decision whether or not to have a mastectomy. The writing was fun and upbeat. I liked the relationship she had with her friends, the troubled relationship written with her sister, and especially Cooper. In the first part of the book as she was working her way through the meaningless flings, it was funny, though maybe not so meaningful, so I was glad when things with Cooper started to heat up. The author did an amazing job of writing Lacey’s emotional journey of deciding whether or not to have surgery as an option for preventing breast cancer, as well as the journey of self-acceptance. Loved this book! Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. (  ) KatKinney | Mar 3, 2022 |  ) Stacie-C | May 8, 2021 | Well, Clark did it. This is a funny, poignant, and yes, sexy novel about genetics and discovering your sexual agency. It was a breezy read overall but it did not shy away from heavy topics one bit. Romance as a genre is normally not my thing, but I enjoyed this. Also, hellooooo Cooper. Smart nerdy hot guys are the best. (  ) DrFuriosa | Dec 4, 2020 | Please note, that despite the cute cover, this book does contain a lot of sex talk and sex scenes. Omg this book was amazing. It was serious, yet funny. Sexy but sweet. This was a very unique read. I’ve never read anything like it before. It was like a chick lit book, but less superficial and more deep than they typically get. The book deals with a very serious topic, being BRCA1 positive. The way the author handles it is incredibly well done. She did a phenomenal job tapping into the emotions and anxieties that come with the diagnosis. You can tell the author did a tremendous amount of research. I loved how sex positive this entire book was. Like I mentioned before, there is a lot of sex in this book, but it is never seen as a bad thing. It even calls out some double standards. I also loved the diversity. The main character’s two best friends were both POC. One was Asian and the other was British Indian who was also a lesbian. Even many of the love interests/sexual partners were POC too, including an Iranian fashion designer. I’ve read quite a few books set in New York City, but none had this much diversity. The romance aspects felt very real. All the decisions the main character made regarding her love life felt plausible. Sometimes romances can end up being too far fetched, so it was nice to see one that was more grounded. Lastly, the final 30 pages of the book were incredibly heartfelt and I just loved it! There was a lot of emotion and heart. Overall, if you’re looking for a different kind of chick lit book, I really recommend this one!

"From the author of the critically acclaimed "lively and engrossing parable for women of all generations" (Harper's Bazaar) The Regulars; comes a deeply funny and thoughtful tale of a young woman who, after discovering she has the breast cancer gene, embarks on an unforgettable bucket list adventure. Twenty-five-old Lacey Whitman is blindsided when she's diagnosed with the BCRA1 gene mutation: the "breast cancer" gene. Her high hereditary risk forces a decision: increased surveillance or the more radical step of a preventative double mastectomy. Lacey doesn't want to lose her breasts. For one, she's juggling two career paths; her work with the prestigious New York trend forecaster Hoffman House, and her role on the founding team of a sustainable fashion app with friend/mentor, Vivian Chang. Secondly, small-town Lacey's not so in touch with her sexuality: she doesn't want to sacrifice her breasts before she's had the chance to give them their hey-day. To help her make her choice, she (and her friends) creates a "boob bucket list": everything she wants do with and for her boobs before a possible surgery. This kicks off a year of sensual exploration and sexual entertainment for the quick-witted Lacey Whitman. Ultimately, this is a story about Lacey's relationship to her body and her future. Both are things she thought she could control through hard work and sacrifice. Both are things she will change by choosing to have a major surgery that could save her life, and will give her the future she really wants. Featuring the pitch-perfect "compulsively delicious" (Redbook) prose of The Regulars, The Bucket List is perfect for fans of Amy Poeppel and Sophie Kinsella"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

What disappointed me was the ending of this.
I think the author was trying to make the point that the good ones will love you even if you have fake breasts. But I think I needed more emphasis on how Lacey would love herself with or without her breasts.
As always, can't help being a little bit sad when the "bad guy" is very explicitly a POC and no one else is very explicitly a POC.
But this was a cushy beach read. I appreciate all the "sexy mastectomy" talk because it's something I know nothing about and I learned a lot. Lacey's friendships were well developed. But, if I wasn't in control of my stack of library books right now, I think I would have easily forgotten it halfway through. (
