Our book club read "The Next Thing on My List" several months ago, and so when we saw that Jill Smolinski had another one out, we scooped it right up! I was instantly invested in the characters, and I cared about them...where they had come from to reach this point in their lives, and where they were headed next! The storyline has potential to be maudlin, but it is never allowed to go there. Serious topics, with enough humor and whimsy to keep it perfect for summer-time reading! Quick, easy read from one of my new favorite authors!
