From the author of the critically acclaimed â€œlively and engrossing parable for women of all generationsâ€ (Harperâ€™s Bazaar) The RegularsÂ comes a deeply funny and thoughtful tale of a young woman who, after discovering she has the breast cancer gene, embarks on an unforgettable bucket list adventure.

Twenty-five-old Lacey Whitman is blindsided when sheâ€™s diagnosed with the BRCA1 gene mutation: the â€œbreast cancerâ€ gene. Her high hereditary risk forces a decision: increased surveillance or the more radical step of a preventative double mastectomy. Lacey doesn't want to lose her breasts. For one, sheâ€™s juggling two career paths; her work with the prestigious New York trend forecaster Hoffman House, and her role on the founding team of a sustainable fashion app with friend/mentor, Vivian Chang. Secondly, small-town Laceyâ€™s not so in touch with her sexuality: she doesnâ€™t want to sacrifice her breasts before sheâ€™s had the chance to give them their hey-day. To help her make her choice, she (and her friends) creates a â€œboob bucket listâ€: everything she wants do with and for her boobs before a possible surgery.

This kicks off a year of sensual exploration and sexual entertainment for the quick-witted Lacey Whitman. The Bucket List cleverly and compassionately explores Laceyâ€™s relationship to her body and her future. Both are things Lacey thought she could control through hard work and sacrifice. But the future, it turns out, is more complicated than she could ever imagine.

Featuring the pitch-perfect â€œcompulsively deliciousâ€ (Redbook) prose of The Regulars, The Bucket List is perfect for fans of Amy Poeppel and Sophie Kinsella.
