I read this book months ago, and every time my friends and I start talking about terrible books, this is the first book I bring up.  Emily is a terrible person, and, as a character, is so poorly drawn, the author should be embarrassed.  The premise was unique, but badly executed.  What could have ended with a person figuring out how beautiful life is fizzled with Emily in the driver's seat.  The character is a "control freak" who never once has control of her own life or her destiny.  She gives control to her despicable boyfriend, the doctor, to her one friend, to perfect strangers.  She is rash, short-sighted, self-righteous, whiney, and smug, but has to be forced to try all the things on her own bucket list.  Then, when she changes her mind about the deal with the doctor, Emily continues spending the money.  And in the end, she doesn't even solve her own problem!  I am furious to this day that this person, imaginary though she is, got a happily ever after from her Big Misunderstanding.  Yup.  Spoiled it.  There is nothing, I repeat, nothing funny about this book except the fact that the author managed to get a whole bunch of us to pay for Garbage, Part Two.  I will not read anything else by this author.  Ever.
