The Weekend Bucket List

Cady and Cooper were at this big crossroad in their lives. Graduation was in three days, and soon these BFFs would be leaving each other to attend separate colleges. Cady wanted to know once and for all if a romance was possible with Cooper, and the weekend bucket list was born. However, along the way, a third party, Eli, became entangled in this plot, and things got a little complicated.

I won't lie. I was expecting a cute friends-to-more romance with some fun hijinks. That is not what I got reading The Weekend Bucket List. This was a story which explored platonic love, and was about how friendship can be underrated by many when it comes to types of love.

This book had a lot of great characters. I enjoyed Cady and Cooper. They had a great dynamic together. I also liked Eli a lot. He was very sweet, and I wanted him to find his people and his "home". He experienced a lot of let downs and betrayals, and it was time for the universe to send something great his way. I also want to say, that Cooper won the parent lottery. His mom and dad were pretty fabulous, and the heart to heart Cooper and his dad had about his sexuality may have brought a tear to my eye.

Don't get me wrong. I am a fan of friendships, and the ending was full of all sorts of good friendship feels. However, I really wanted some romance. Overall, the book was entertaining, and had some really fun moments, as well as some really thoughtful moments, I just wanted a different kind of HEA.
