Checklist of the Heart

Emily Brooks has always kept life organized—her days planned down to the minute, her feelings sorted like files in a cabinet. Lists keep her sane, especially after a string of heartbreaks that seem to repeat the same pattern. Between grocery runs, playlists, and emotionally labelling her love interests, Emily's life feels under control… until she stumbles upon a mysterious journal tucked inside a secondhand book. The journal isn't just any journal—it's a bucket list filled with wild dreams, daring adventures, and unapologetic spontaneity. Intrigued and a little rebellious, Emily begins to cross items off the list, pulling her perfectly curated world into delightful chaos. Enter Jamie—a charming new colleague with a smile that disrupts her plans and a knack for turning her orderly life upside down. With friends acting strangely and emotions running high, Emily must decide if she's ready to ditch her lists and embrace love—messy, unpredictable, and utterly worth it. Checklist of the Heart is a warm, witty rom-com about the beauty of imperfection, the thrill of new beginnings, and finding love in the most unexpected places. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Beth O'Leary.
