Jolie has a severe underbite that has impacted her health and looks her entire life. She's going to have surgery in a few weeks and even though the chances of her dying under anesthetic are very tiny - there is still a chance! So she decides to complete a list of things she would have wished she'd done if she ends up dead haha It's a fun premise and Jolie is a likable characters. I loved her warm family, and I always appreciate the way Winfrey ā¬‡

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) sets her stories in Ohio and doesn't act like it's the worst place in the world to live (because it's actually lovely here!). But sometimes I read YA that makes me feel kind of old, and this was one of them. I found myself wondering if I would have gotten more from this book when I was a teen. Jolie spends a lot of time thinking about her looks and wishing she was prettier, and it's one of the big lessons from the story, but I found ā¬‡ 8mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) myself getting a little tired of listening to her obsess over looks, since I have long been in the stage of life where I pretty much don't care what other people think about how I look.

Still, a not-bad read with plenty of fun banter and enough seriousness mixed in to keep things grounded, while still staying overall lighthearted.

Here‘s an interesting premise: Jolie has mandibular prognathism (an underbite) and she is scheduled for corrective surgery, but before it happens, she plans to cross off a bucket list of things in case she dies during surgery.
Well, I just happen to have a dog, my awesome Apollo, with the best underbite on the planet. He‘s so handsome. Anyone else have an animal with an underbite?!
