The List: A Love Story in 781 Chapters

By Aneva Stout

The classic love story of girl meets boy, girl dumps boy, girl goes shopping and other dating truths, but told in a completely original form of a list of 781 entries. An irresistibly witty story that simply has to be read in one sitting, and then read again and shared with all your girlfriends.

Like ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ before it, this is a universal story of one girl’s adventures in singledom and dating that every girl will identify with. But with a completely original twist – it’s told in the form of 781 chapters, yes, very, very short chapters.

“157. You’ll wonder why he hasn’t called in the past 24 hours. 158. You’ll check your messages again. 159. You’ll check missed calls again. 160. You’ll check the phone for a dial tone. Yep – a dial tone.”

The List is honest, universal and it’s irreverent it is a witty, chick-lit, feel-good story for anyone who enjoyed ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ or ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ – in fact anyone who has ever looked for true love.
