The List
from Carry a library in your ears all day Hosted by Melanie Jacobson
e last thing she needs in her fun-loving twenties is the dead-weight of some guy. And that’s why she created The List. By the time she completes all twenty-five goals—from learning a language to skydiving to perfecting the art of making sushi—she’ll be more ready to settle down. Maybe. This summer in California is the perfect time to cross two items off the list: learn to surf (#13) and have a summer romance (#17). And Matt Gibson—the best surf instructor in Huntington Beach and the most wanted guy in the singles ward—is the perfect man for the job. Ashley hatches a plan to love him and leave him before heading off to grad school in the fall (#4: get a master’s degree). But when Matt decides he doesn’t like the "leaving" part, Ashley’s carefully laid plans start to unravel. Now she faces an unexpected dilemma: stick to the safety of The List... or risk everything for a love that may tie her down—or might just set her free?
