The epic adventure of a 160-pound English Mastiff and the twentysomething girl who grew up alongside herââas much a story about growing up as about letting go of things that cannot be changedâŚand a reminder of the profound healing connection that can exist between humans and the pets they loveâ (Kirkus Reviews).
When Lauren Fern Watt moved to New York after college, she took her 160-pound English Mastiff, Gizelle, with her. And though it wasnât easy, she managed to find a dog-friendly (albeit tiny) apartment in the middle of it allâTimes Square. Gizelle was there for Laurenâs first job, her motherâs struggle with addiction, her New York romances, and the ups and downs of becoming an adult in the big city. But when Gizelle got sick, Lauren realized her best friend might not be such a constant after all, and she designed an epic bucket list to make the absolute most of the time they had left.
Bursting with charm, Gizelleâs Bucket List is âan inspirational, uplifting experience that will leave you feeling that anything is possible. For anyone who has had a pet; who has loved and lost; who has hoped for the future, this is an enchanting story of an unlikely journey that will stay with you for a long timeâ (Elle, UK).
