Synopsis: After nearly four years with Jeff, everything fell apart. I found myself single, scared, but somehow liberated as well. Rather than stumble into another ill advised relationship, my best friend Sally helped me find focus. I would spend the next few months “finding myself” sexually. That’s how The Rebound List was born.
My journey begins with the first item on my list - a virgin. But it's not easy to go from squeaky-clean committed girlfriend to wanton sex goddess. Hopefully I'll have the guts to follow through!
What (or whom) would you do to celebrate your freedom after your first serious relationship breaks down?Review by Gia:
The Rebound List was previously released in a serial format but now parts 1 through 4 are all in one book. I'm glad all the parts were in one book, I liked that I could just turn the page and on from one part to the next.
After breaking up with her long term boyfriend, Becky and her friend, Sally come up with a a list a sexual experiences Becky would like to try. After some drinks they come up with four things on the list. Sally sets Becky up with an online profile to help her find men to fulfill her experiences on the list. This is such a great concept, you know after reading a little bit of this book that it's going to be great.
On her list is Virgin, Silver Fox, Stranger, Threesome. Each one on the list has there own section in the book.
I loved all the characters. They were all well written and believable. The Rebound List is a light, happy read. You will find yourself smiling and laughing as you read it. I really can't say a lot about the book without giving away any spoilers. It's a great read and you won't be disappointed.

Excerpt ONE
The first real warning sign that our
relationship was doomed came a few weeks prior to our fourth
anniversary. During a chat with Sally - arguably my best friend as
well as colleague - she speculated whether or not Jeff might propose
to me. The thought filled me with dread. Don't get me wrong, I didn't
hate him. I actually kind of still loved him but the idea that this
was all which life had in store for me depressed me greatly. There
was more I had to do; more experiences I was yet to have.
Was he really planning to propose? I
certainly hoped not because I couldn't accept. No way. And I have
always hated confrontations, so having to say ‘no’ was an
extremely unpleasant prospect.
In a way, finding the inappropriate
emails from him to an old lover had been a relief. A chance to make a
relatively clean break without having to confess uncomfortable
truths. I moved out within the month and found myself free but also
apprehensive about what might be in store for me next. Would I find
what I had been missing?
I wouldn't make the same mistakes
again. Starting a new relationship on the rebound, not fully
celebrating my newfound freedom were definite 'no-no's. I needed a
plan to figure out when I would be ready to settle down. A means of
measuring whether I had lived single life to the fullest.
That's how the list was born. While it
mentions only the highlights, between the lines I intended to not
just vary who with, but also how or where I would get it on.
“To Do:
Virgin
Silver fox

Threesome”
