內容簡介
如果生命只剩下最後三個月,要如何發現什麼才是人生真正所需?
「一個關於自我發現的動人作品,充滿驚喜和BJ單身日記的幽默與喜感。」─《Booklist》
Jennifer Cole被診斷出血癌末期,僅剩下三個月的壽命。僅剩的90天,讓她與朋友和家人說再見,還有交待瑣事。僅剩的90天,診斷結果一點也不公平,超乎想像,甚至開不了口。往好處想(她不需要活在沒有大衛‧鮑伊和瑪雅‧安傑盧的世界;她不會像父母一樣得到阿茲海默症或帕金森氏症),她意識到自己唯一的遺憾:永遠失去親人。
Jennifer沒有忙著完成願望清單上的事項,而是選擇留在原處寫信給她一生中三個最重要的人,向他們說出她從未說出的實話:她霸道又自私的姊姊、她軟爛又出軌的前夫,還有迷人且不可靠的前男友。
一開始,她感受到情感上的徹底淨化,甚至身心靈被解放。前男友毫無保留的衝向她,甚至開始和姊姊有良好的互動。但是一旦你開始說實話,就再也停步下來。Jennifer很快發現,真相並不如想像中的簡單,而死亡,永遠都讓你有無限驚喜…。
Rather than pursuing a frantic bucket list, she chooses to stay put, and write letters to three significant people in her life: her overbearing, selfish sister, her jelly-spined, cheating ex-husband, and her charming, unreliable ex-boyfriend finally telling them the things she’s always wanted to say but never dared.
At first, Jennifer feels cleansed by her catharsis. Liberated, even. But once you start telling the truth, it's hard to stop. And, as she soon discovers, the truth isn't always as straightforward as it seems, and death has a way of surprising you .
