Argument: June

Although never attempted or completed June to anything proposed will do its best to achieve fulfill the dreams of Marissa and complete list "twenty things I must do before the age of twenty-five".
Personal opinion:
I was hooked from the first page and almost ate it. June is a woman of 34 who has spent more time alone than with a boyfriend. He lives on the same floor for 12 years without carrying anything along with his brother. One night her life changes. Has an accident and a woman dies. After 6 months plunged into a depression begins to fulfill the wishes of the girl. This would cause major changes in their lives and begin to see things differently.
is a novel which shows us pretty hard realities (Parents who can not have children, girls as young as 14 who are expecting a baby, leaders who rely more on appearance than talent, ...) but it is still funny and very entertaining.
The secondary characters are all very charismatic especially Susan, best friend of June, and Martucci, coworker. They help in what they can in June to finish the list.
One of the strengths of the novel is that holds us in suspense throughout the novel we do not know if June will be able to finish the list. Also noteworthy is the end that is completely unexpected but wonderful.
Global Note: 8
