內容簡介

記憶像洋葱層層交疊,每剝掉一層,就讓人流眼淚;
唯有去除一件又一件的武裝,生命才會吐真言。

  34歲的布芮特住在高級公寓,擁有外型宛如GQ男模的體貼男友、年薪百萬的夢幻工作。最重要的是,她有一位深愛她的母親。

  直到某天,母親罹癌驟逝,讓布芮特的人生一夕劇變。母親將所有的遺產都給了哥哥及嫂嫂,卻只留給最愛的女兒布芮特一張清單,除非她能完成清單上的10件事,否則她無法得到母親的任何遺物。

  那是布芮特在國二時隨手寫下的紙條,她早已把上面的幼稚夢想拋諸腦後。誰料到母親偷偷地將它從垃圾桶撿了起來,20年來,布芮特每完成一項,母親便幫她將願望打勾。

  清單上還剩下10個未盡的夢想──生個小北鼻?不會吧。當老師?放棄年薪百萬,整天在教室裡跟小屁孩鬼混,開什麼玩笑!買一匹馬?對不起喔,公寓不適合養大型寵物。與老爸重修舊好?怎麼可能,他早在七年前就過世了!然而,布芮特深知清單中的墜入愛河是她的最大挑戰。眼前的男友安德魯看似完美,卻似乎有哪裡不對勁…

  在一連串的謊言與背叛之後,布芮特被迫重新審視自己的人生。她該如何在有限的一年之中,重拾誠摯友誼、幫助他人,並且找到真愛?

  10個看似毫無關連的願望,卻是如此環環相扣。布芮特如何在一次又一次的契機之中,實現願望,讓人生有所不同…

  Brett's Life List

  1. Go to Paris
  2. Perform live, on a super big stage
  3. Have a baby, maybe two
  4. Fall in love

  Brett Bohlinger seems to have it all: a plum job, a spacious loft, an irresistibly handsome boyfriend. All in all, a charmed life. That is, until her beloved mother passes away, leaving behind a will with one big stipulation: In order to receive her inheritance, Brett must first complete the life list of goals she’d written when she was a naïve girl of fourteen.

  Grief-stricken, Brett can barely make sense of her mother’s decision—her childhood dreams don’t resemble her ambitions at age thirty-four in the slightest. Some seem impossible. How can she possibly have a relationship with a father who died seven years ago? Other goals (Be an awesome teacher!) would require her to reinvent her entire future.

  As Brett reluctantly embarks on a perplexing journey in search of her adolescent dreams, one thing becomes clear. Sometimes life’s sweetest gifts can be found in the most unexpected places.
