Perfect for you if...

  • You're drawn to stories about midlife reinvention and people who finally decide their own lives matter, not just their parents' expectations.
  • You love character-driven comedies with real stakes, where the humour comes from someone trying earnestly and failing beautifully.
  • You want a second-chance romance that earns its ending through growth, not just attraction.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer plot-driven stories where something external propels the action. Nora's journey is entirely internal and slow-building.
  • You're looking for high-stakes drama or twists. This is a quiet, introspective novel about ordinary life choices.
  • You want romance to be the central plot. Here it's one thread in a larger story about identity and family.

About this book

Nora November survives a near-fatal surfing accident that left her clinically dead for several minutes. During her coma, she experiences vivid memories of her deceased grandfather, a beautiful garden, and a delicious tomato. Now awake, she views her life as split into two periods: Before, when she lived under her parents' expectations as a personal injury lawyer at her father's firm, and After, when she is determined to accomplish what she left undone. Nora creates a reverse bucket list of goals: learn to cook, become a better sister to Lacey, leave her job, restore her grandfather's neglected garden, and find a man she met months ago in a corner store but never contacted. As she pursues these objectives, her attempts prove difficult and lead her to confront truths she had avoided. The novel combines humor, hope, and romance around Nora's second chance at life and her efforts to fulfill her reverse bucket list. It includes discussion questions for book clubs.
