Book Overview
'A delightful novel about fate, second chances, and how our worst moments are only the gateways to the best moments to come. When you're finished, you'll be writing your own reverse bucket list to check off.' --Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author
New York Times bestselling author Julia London returns with a "perfect blend of women's fiction and romantic comedy" (Kristan Higgins) for fans Matt Haig, Linda Holmes, and Abi Waxman.
Now that Nora is not dead, only one question remains: What does she want to do with her life?
Nora November is alive--but she wasn't always. She was once clinically dead, having spent several minutes under water after a terrible surfing accident she doesn't remember. What she does remember from her time in a coma is her grandfather, who passed away over a year ago. And a beautiful garden. And the most delicious tomato she ever tasted.
Now that she's awake again her life has been cleaved in two. In the Before, Nora lived like a ghost, drowning under the weight of her parents' expectations. In the After, she's determined to accomplish the things she left undone before she died. Her reverse bucket list is simple: She wants to learn to cook and to be a better older sister to Lacey. She wants to quit her terrible job as a personal injury lawyer at her dad's firm. She wants to bring Grandpa's now-neglected garden back to life. And she wants to find the guy she met in a corner store months ago--the one she never called but never stopped thinking about.
As Nora's attempts at a new life prove disastrous at best, her mission to fulfill her reverse bucket list leads her to a reckoning with the truth she almost hid from herself.
Nice Work, Nora November blends humor, hope, and romance with a relatable heroine and her reverse bucket list. With the included discussion questions, it's the perfect book club book, and will have you asking yourself: what would you do if given a second chance at life?
