When pensioner Dot wins the lottery, her newfound friend Max helps her make a bucket list of all the things she’s always wanted to do but never had the chance. Bucket List is a humorous feel-good, life-affirming novel about the power of friendship, community and lemon drizzle cake.

Dot is a lonely pensioner. Max is a young offender. But a chance meeting in their local park changes everything for this unlikely duo. They soon find they share a wicked sense of humour and a penchant for petty crime.

When Dot wins the lottery, Max helps her make a bucket list of all the things she’s always wanted to do but never had the chance.
