When they were eighteen, Emerson, Marley, and Georgia met at fat camp. They instantly became best friends, supporting each other through thick and thin. Sixteen years later, Emerson dies, but not before making her best friends promise to finish the list they made that last summer together. The list is full of things they thought they would do, if they were brave enough: get a piggyback ride, eat dessert in public, hold hands in public, tell someone off who called you fat.

Now Marley and Georgia work on completing the list in her honor, even though it scares both of them. They're trying to find peace with their bodies. Even now after all this time, they still struggle. They eat healthy and exercise, but they never reach their ideal weight. As teens they thought once they lost the weight, real life would begin, hence the list.

But now, after Georgia's failed marriage and Marley's family grief, they've decided to conquer their fears. As they start checking items off their list, they gain confidence.

Another winner of a book from Kristan Higgins. I've come to expect so much from her books and she never disappoints. The friendship between Marley and Georgia will make readers want to reach out to their best friends. There are so many layers to this book: family drama, the meaning of friendship, spreading kindness, having a job you love, confidence, a cute dog, body imagery, and, of course, romance. It's incredible that all these layers fit together and speak volumes about life, but they do. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT is about every day issues that seem nonchalant at first, but it packs quite the punch.
