The Throwback List
The Throwback List | Lily Anderson
2 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
Welcome to Sandy Point, Oregon: a sleepy beach town that's home to a giant anchor statue, a sometimes-karaoke-bar, and Frosty's questionably legendary Sunday Sundae Surprise. A town Jo, Autumn, and Bianca thought they'd left far behind when they graduated high school, finally moving on to greener pastures than the midway point for tourists heading to the Goonies house. But life seldom goes according to plan. Bianca Boria-Birdy, former prom queen and valedictorian, has always been an overachiever. As she juggles managing the family tattoo parlor, caring for her grandmother, and adjusting to a new marriage, Bianca's schedule becomes stricter than ever, with no room for disruption. What she really needs is a vacation, but not even Bianca Boria-Birdy can achieve the impossible. Autumn Kelly used to be an actress. Now she teaches drama at Sandy Point High. She may have had to kiss her movie-star dreams goodbye, but molding the next generation of performers has given her life meaning in a whole new way. Until the sudden reappearance of her ex-best friend throws everything off-balance. Jo Freeman has it all together. With a cool job in Silicon Valley, connections at the trendiest fitness studios, and a down payment on her dream condo, she's well on her way to reaching every one of her goals before thirty. Or she was, before she got fired and landed right back home with her parents and teenage sister. When Jo finds an old bucket list in her childhood bedroom, it sets the three women on a path that brings them closer to one another with each task. And it just might lead to a life none of them could have planned.

Thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for an audio listening copy of this!

What if you discover a list from high school of things you wanted to do before 30? Enter the throwback list, which contains many obstacles and trials for a group of friends to accomplish 10 years after the list was drafted. I appreciated the development of the story, but at times felt a little bogged down in the narrative. Light reading with hints of nostalgia & “what-ifs.”

This is a fun read that‘s billed as Gilmore Girls meets The Bold Type (both of which I loved)! Three friends in their 20‘s get together when one moves back to town after being fired. They attempt her Throwback List which she discovers in a journal of all the things she wanted to accomplish but was too afraid to attempt. It‘s funny and sassy and a delightful break from thrillers that I love!
