Praise for BEST, FIRST, AND LAST

"Best, First, and Last took me on a JOURNEY. The lush setting is the perfect backdrop for this multi-generational story of the many ways love - romantic and familial - can shape our lives. At turns both funny and heart-wrenching, this is another gem from one of my must read authors." --Robin Lefler, author of Reasonable Adults

"Best, First, and Last by Amy T. Matthews is equal parts witty and wise. The family members at the center of this warmhearted novel might have their doubts about vacationing together, but I loved being along for the ride." --Laura Hankin, author of The Daydreams and A Special Place for Women

Praise for SOMEONE ELSE'S BUCKET LIST by Amy T. Matthews

"Someone Else's Bucket List takes a poignant look at how the bonds of sisterhood can shape our lives." --Namrata Patel, author of The Candid Life of Meena Dave

"I loved Someone Else's Bucket List. It begins by breaking your heart then takes you by surprise by becoming uplifting and utterly galvanizing. Best of all, though, it's a stirring celebration of the power of sisterhood!" --Matt Cain, author of The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle

"Somebody Else's Bucket List is a moving story about Jodie and Bree, two devoted sisters who each take extraordinary measures to help the other. Author Amy Matthews's keen portrayal of grief and loss keeps the reader rooting for Jodie as she pushes out of her comfort zone to fulfill Bree's dying wish. This life-affirming tale reminds us that happiness is possible if we find the courage to reach for it." --Jamie Beck, Wall Street Journal bestselling author
