The Grown Up To-Do List by Jennifer Joyce
Synopsis:
Her friends are bossing life - is she in danger of being left behind?
25-year-old Cleo is happy enough. She likes her job in the fish and chip shop in the small town where she grew up. But her world has become very small - all her friends couldn’t wait to leave their small, seaside town and are off, apparently crushing life. They have shiny careers and creative side-hustles, while she is still living with her mum and dad.
But when she learns that her childhood boyfriend is coming back to town for a party in three months, she decides she needs to start adulting.
But what does being a grown-up really mean? And can she become one in three months?

The Grown Up To-Do List was a pleasant, quick read.
When Cleo meets an old high school mate, she realizes how all her friends have matured chasing their dreams, while she is stuck in her teen life, still living with her parents in her little coastal town, and working at the fish & chips. So she decides to change her life, becoming a responsible and independent adult. She has only a few months to show her new self to her friend, so she starts a To Do List.
I have yet to decide if I liked or didn't like Cleo. At the beginning definitely not, because she is so immature to complain about her failing life without committing to change. Then I became her cheerleader when she makes an effort to grow up, learning to not rely on others for all things and taking responsibility for her actions.
I've appreciated Jennifer Joyce writing. The story is humorous, but still thought provoking.
I highly recommend it.
