When Nadia’s best friend Lizzy dies, she leaves her last wish list – 16 wild and random things to do to help her get over her grief. Every item on the list feels impossible without Lizzy, especially finding a way to meet their favourite megastar.Nadia’s quest takes her to America where, grieving and alone, she meets Fran, a boy with a big heart and an empty home. Setting out on the road trip of a lifetime along Route 66, the two make an odd couple. But with fate having thrown them together can they help each other find what they’re looking for?

A beautiful, swooning debut following the road trip of a lifetime for fans of You've Reached Sam, Girl in Pieces and John Green, exploring friendship, grief, freedom, and the rush of first love.

A lovely story about grief and complicated relationships that, despite its very sad premise, leaves you smiling and hopeful. it was all beautifully told by Aliona Baranova, who was the perfect choice of narrator.

Having not gotten on with the first couple of audiobooks I've tried, I gave this one a tentative go based on the strength of its narrator and that faith was immensely rewarded! Aliona does a stunning job with a complex character and a heavy emotional weight, bringing heart and authenticy that binds the experience together and is immediately compelling. She navigates accents and voices with ease, and I can't imagine anyone better to tell this beautiful story. Easiest recommendation ever, thank you Aliona!

Incredible performance!
