The Lucky List

The Lucky List by Rachael Lippincott follows Emily, a girl who once shared a special bond with her mom through their "lucky" traditions, including competitive bingo nights. After her mom's death from cancer three years ago, Emily's life has been in turmoil. She's distanced from her ex-boyfriend Matt, her dad is selling their house, and her friendships are strained. With little connection to her mom's memory except a lucky quarter, Emily stumbles upon a bucket list her mom made before her senior year. Encouraged by Blake, the daughter of her dad's best friend, Emily embarks on a mission to complete the list. As they tick off the items, Emily begins to reconnect with her mom's memory and confront her own fears. Along the way, she grows closer to Blake, and the journey becomes not only about honoring her mom's legacy but also about facing her own identity and the secret she never shared with the person who understood her best.
