The Someday List-Review

The Someday List: A Novel (Jubilant Soul) The Someday List: A Novel by Stacy Hawkins Adams


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Nobody's perfect...this can be seen in Stacy Hawkins Adams' novel The Someday List. The main character Rachelle seems to have grown into a thirty-something year old spoiled brat, longing for her husband's attention. Her husband Gabe, a successful doctor is occupied with work and upcoming travels. When we meet them Rachelle is in the middle of an internal upheaval brought on by the impending death of her childhood best friend Jillian.

A series of events leads to a confrontation with her college sweetheart ex-husband regarding there unwanted breakup. Will she throw caution to the wind and try to turn back time or will she continue on with her life as she knows it?

While Rochelle is metamorphosing, Gabe is doing a little changing of his own. He connects with God while on a mission trip. Is is too late for him to save his marriage or will he and Rachelle give it another chance?

This is a story of love, heartache and growth. Readers of the Christian Fiction genre will enjoy it because it will challenge the reader to place herself in Rachelle's shoes.
