THE VERY LAST LIST OF VIVIAN WALKER

Megan Albany (Hachette, $32.99) Vivian Walker’s life is utterly average, down to her hubby, son and dishevelled home. What isn’t average, though, is her cancer diagnosis – and it’s terminal. Which wasn’t on one of her beloved to-do lists. As the clock ticks down, Viv decides to write herself a final list – of life admin essentials that, in true form, are less about noble farewells and more about the mundane. Fuelled by friends, family and tea, it’s a tale of love, rage, tears, laughter and the joy of imperfect lives. Uplifting and impactful.
