Beyond the Bucket List

Dell never thought she and her boyfriend, Charlie, would have a last kiss. Or that she would be diagnosed with cancer when she was seventeen. Or that her passion for running would inspire her community. But a Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis changes everything.When the disease doesn’t respond to treatment, Dell makes a bucket list—if she can’t beat cancer, she’ll live life on her terms for as long as she can. But despite growing close to a surprising new friend and deepening her relationship with Charlie, Dell wants more. Her fixation on crossing things off the list drives a wedge between her and the people she loves when she needs them most.In a world where none of us is guaranteed enough time to accomplish everything we might desire, Beyond the Bucket List reminds us that it’s not just what we do. It’s the lasting effect we have on the people around us.
