In The Life List, Alex faces some serious hurdles while trying to check off her mom’s final wish, completing a list of goals she made at 13. Some tasks, like getting a tattoo and doing stand-up comedy, are a breeze. But other goals, like reconciling with her estranged dad and becoming a better teacher, are much harder than Alex ever imagined.

As the year goes on, she slowly chips away at the list, with plenty of ups and downs along the way. Then comes Brad, the lawyer who becomes her unexpected ally.
He’s there for her at every turn, helping with the comedy gig, hooking her up with a teaching job, and even taking her to meet her biological father. Meanwhile, her brothers surprise her with a backyard camping trip, where one heart-to-heart with Julian helps her make peace with her dad. In the end, Alex does the impossible minus finding love. But hey, her mom had that one covered!

The ending of The Life List isn’t just about crossing off items, it’s a journey of self-discovery, growth, and learning that life isn’t about taking the easy route. At the start, Alex is just going through the motions, doing what’s comfortable but unfulfilling. She’s let life’s challenges chip away at her dreams and her passion.
But when her mom, Elizabeth, asks her to finish the life list, Alex is forced to reconnect with the dreams she once had. And here’s the twist: it’s not just about completing the tasks; it’s about realizing that some of the best things in life require hard work and resilience.
By the end, Alex is no longer the person who simply goes along with life. Through completing the list (and with a little help from Brad and her brothers), she reconnects with her authentic self, the person she was before life wore her down. It’s a true coming-of-age moment, as Alex not only finds happiness but also true love. So, the message?
Sometimes you have to work for the good stuff in life, and that’s exactly what Alex learns in the end!
