12yo Nina is still mourning the sudden death of her sister Lily 2 years ago. Lily had made a list of 13 things she wanted to do by the time she turned 13. Nina hopes completing the list herself will give her some closure.
I loved the travelogue- Nina has to return to Paris to accomplish some of the tasks. There’s an interwoven plot of Nina coming out and falling for a new friend in her art class. It felt superfluous - and almost like a plot device. I also wish there was more context to the flashbacks. Didn’t love the story but would recommend for the Paris adventure. Nina is American, Sylvia is French.
