![]() I was lucky – all of my test results came back completely negative for dysplasia (a precancerous state). I was only home from college for winter break, so my doctor and I opted to go ahead and do a colposcopy while I was still in NYC. This could be an abnormality related to cervical cancer, or something else Your doctor may follow with another pap after some time has passed or a colposcopy and a biopsy, which allows the doctor to get a closer look at the abnormal cells. An abnormal pap smear is an indicator of abnormal cells on your cervix. In 2015, I had my first abnormal pap smear. This is not my first rodeo in fact, it’s my third. I am right – my pap smear has come back with abnormal results. I look down at the caller ID – it’s my gynecologist’s office. I’m sitting at my desk at work, itching to get back to The Bucket List, when my phone rings. Ask my roommate, Kyle, he can corroborate that I could not stop snorting with laughter during reading time in our living room, no matter how many times he glared at me. There is one chapter in which she tackles one entry on the bucket list, role play, that had me genuinely laughing out loud. The men around her are desirable and idiots, all at once. If she’s going to get rid of them, she’s going to show them a good time first. As she considers which path she will take, she embarks on a “boob bucket list” that she creates with her friends. With this revelation, she has two choices: monitor and wait for something more definite to appear, or opt for a preventative double mastectomy. At the start of the story, Lacey is informed that she has inherited the breast cancer gene. ![]() It’s like my newest TV obsession, The Bold Type, in book form. ![]() The Bucket List is the story of Lacey Whitman, a twenty-five year old New Yorker living a life not unlike mine – full of colorful friends, silly mistakes, and late nights. I was right, this book is everything I need. I toss it in my bag and hustle out the door. Georgia invited us to a rooftop party a few weeks ago to celebrate the upcoming launch of The Bucket List, but it has slipped my mind until this morning. I love her voice – snarky, witty, and timely. Clark’s last novel, The Regulars, was one of the highlights of my Summer 2017 reads. The Bucket List by Georgia Clark is on the bottom of one of the many stacks of books piled around my room. It’s been in front of my face this whole time. Then, as if by some divine intervention, it hits me. Everything on my immediate TBR is not quite right. ![]() I make the choice to put it aside (for now, at least) and look around my room for some inspiration. I’m hesitant to admit it, but I am in a book slump. Other times, it comes unexpectedly, like the book gods know a secret they didn’t let me in on. Sometimes, that choice is conscious – I’m pretty good about knowing what kind of read I’m in the mood for. If you’ve been following along for a while, you’ll know that I strongly believe in the right books finding me at the right times. We’re going with a slightly different (and way more personal) style for this review. Read if you like: The Regulars, The Bold Type. Genre: 20-something adventures (& misadventures) in NYC. Thank you to Georgia Clark and the lovely people at Atria Books for my copy of The Bucket List by Georgia Clark. ![]()
