"Reasonable things will never bring you joy as much as unreasonable ones do."
*
Summer Wallace is a wild, crazy girl who simply couldn't care less about her appearance. She strongly believes in the saying, "You Only Live Once", in teenage subculture also known as YOLO. She plays basketball like her life depends on it. Well, it sort of does, she loses one game and there's a dent in her ego, not a small one either.
Meet Blake Walker, her best friend and her partner-in-crime. Saner of the two, however, together they can turn a rather normal, boring day to a momentously crazy one. But one day changes the course of their lives which leads Summer to make a 'bucket list' and complete it before her whole life takes a 180 degree. Whereas, Blake is determined to keep her as long as he can. And he is perfect for the job. After all, he does know her more than anyone else. And they have no room for regrets. As Summer Wallace says, "There shouldn’t be any space for regrets in our beautiful lives.”

A Bucket Full Of Awesome edition by Zainab T Khan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Absolutely brilliant! I don't normally read books like this but I would recommend this to anyone. I think that the fact it made me cry and smile at the same time, that says it all. Got this off Instafreebie and am so glad I did!
This book, oh this book... Where do I even start?
First of all, like my best friend said to me ''Not all books are perfect and you have to stop getting so hyped and write a review where you point out the negative parts and what you didn't like''. And yes, it is very true what she said but (there is always a but), I actually don't have anything that I didn't like about this, except that it could be bigger because I loved it.
So... *composes herself into a professional person* The book is written in the first person and in the point of view of Summer Wallace, though almost at the end it changes into Blake Knight's POV and then again into Summer's POV.
Summer's almost 20 years old and getting to read her thoughts at that right moment, her actions, you get into her skin like if you were her. The writing was surprisingly simple in a way but also complex (in a positive way). Since it was Summer's mind that we were reading, the way she speaks/thinks is actually like a teenage girl from nowadays, for example when she says ''make-out session with the concrete floor.''; ''Awesome. Please note the sarcasm.'' or ''Seriously, dude?'', these expressions that sound like something a girl of her age would say made me get even more attached to Summer and the story because even I speak like that so it made feel like I could relate to her.
SPOILERS
The fact that right in the beginning she denied receiving treatment and why she did it sounded quite realistic. She feared death but feared more if she died while missing all the things in her life that she loved to do like playing basketball for indeterminate hours with Blake. I think that her strong personality made all the story even more interesting because she tried to show her strong side even though that in the inside she was actually scared and didn't want to make anyone suffer because of a stupid disease (Summer's words).
Blake is a very important character here since besides being Summer's best friend, he's her pillar, the one who's beside her all the time and through all her life and obstacles that somehow she tries to avoid them like if they don't exist but Blake knows it, he knows how she feels even if she doesn't say a word about it.
If it wasn't for him, Summer wouldn't be doing the treatment and would probably die and then not truly enjoy her life.
There's a lot more that I can say about these two characters and the others like Luke, Lucinda or even Cameron. They all supported Summer and tried to make her see that with just a little effort everything would be okay and in the end she would be healthy and beside the ones she loves and cares for.
For me it was obvious that Summer and Blake had feelings for each other but because they were best friends since always they didn't even think about that, but with time Summer started to get more scared about her condition and if she would survive and the talk she had with Cameron about why was she avoiding Blake made her see that avoiding him, so he didn't get hurt if she died, was actually hurting him more. Cameron opened her eyes to reality and so did Blake with a letter she wrote to him where she exposed her true feelings.
I think that the whole story was well structered and it's timeline was consistent. We got to see several stages of Summer's illness and all the learning she did while doing the things she had in her ''bucket full of awesome'' (bucket list).
I did actually cried a couple of times and laughed a gazillion of times. If you read this book (I hope you do), count on a gazillion of funny moments.
The last thing that I want to point out is the inspirational side of the book.
You see Summer struggling with her disease but also you get to see what she learns with it and with all the adventures she has while trying to finish her bucket list.
To finish, here are some parts that I thought were inspirational and beautiful
''You are no princess. You are a warrior. You don't own a tiara or create peace and harmony. You wear spiky shoes and create caos. You, my darling friend, are a firecracker. A bomb which can explode anytime. You don't go for dresses, but jean shorts, leather belts, and spiky boots. Princesses are just too main stream whereas you, darling, are the only one of your kind. One and only.'' - Blake
''It's a given that we'll face difficulties and breaking points in our lives but with them we'll also have lots of positive moments. We only have to recognise them and let them be. We shouldn't burden those few positive moments with the negatives in our lives or we're going to just ruin them. Life is full of drama, competition, difficulties, and God knows what else. But that shouldn't rule out the love, happiness and joy we feel by being around the things we love and the people who love us. That's how life is. It's supposed to be bitter, but you have to sweeten it.'' - Summer
Glad to write,

My Review
The reviews for this book are all over the place, literally all up and down from 1 to 5 stars. From people who couldn't even finish reading the book to those who couldn't say enough about it and wanted more of it. So I really wasn't sure what to expect from it. Plus, it's a YA book written by a young woman whose first language is not English. Hmmm.
Well, I gave it 4 stars. Yes, it does need an editor and it probably is due to the fact that the author's first language is not English. Other than that, I really found nothing much wrong with this book.
One person said she couldn't like this book because she couldn't like Summer. She was rude and not even nice to those close to her. Summer is a young woman who has just been told she has lung cancer. So, what did you do on your summer vacation? Well, I fought lung cancer. Yeah. She's a bit rough around the edges and speaks sort of tough. She's given up swearing for the duration of her cancer. And yes, she does come off as rude. But she's unsure and defensive and it's all a front because she's so scared.
I loved Blake, Summer's best friend and getting better. He really is a knight in shiny armor. He's so supportive of her throughout the whole ordeal. And I loved the idea of the bucket list as the supporting structure for all the fun and hijinks. It leads to some really wonderful surprises and friendships.
I can't recommend this highly enough to anyone who needs a good cry. Yes, you will cry.
What a fantastic story. This book gripped me and I couldn't put it down. Summer has cancer and wants to complete her bucket list before she dies. Blake is her childhood friend and helps her through these adventures. It took me through a whole range of emotions - happy, crying and more. No spoilers here, but get this book and read it. Seemed like a pretty acarate representation of someone's cancer struggle.
A very touching story about friendship, specially through rough times. Summer is diagnosed with lung cancer. She is too young, twenty years old, to die, she has so many thing to accomplish but she is not ready to let everything apart, specially play basket with her best friend Blake, and start the aggressive cancer treatment. During the story we walk hand by hand with Sumer, Blake and other people involved and learn how to face difficults situations with people that love and care about Summer. A life lesson.
This book was so sad but at the same time it was so happy I loved it a lot it was hilarious and just so Hart warming and I'm not a girl who likes musiey stuff but I loved this book I did start to cry I would definitely recommend this book to anyone even bad ass people who hate stuff musiey
