Weight Watchers magazine had this to say:
"Need some inspirational fiction to make you laugh as you’re losing? Pick up Jill Smolinski’s The Next Thing on My List (Shaye Areheart Books, 2007). THE PREMISE? Two women become friends at a WW meeting, and after one has a fatal accident, the other embarks on a quest to complete her friend’s list – 20 things she had wanted to accomplish by her birthday. Just one of the challenges in store? Running a 5K. BUY IT. This touching, inspirational story may even persuade your to start your own wish list."
