"This book has everything you need to make sure you’re making the best out of your life and really living it."

– Endless Bliss Blog

"There are some amazing ideas in this book and they shouldn’t have an age limit. There are so many things that I feel anyone could take from this book … it’s a great list for people who are over 30 too. There are quite a few books the author mentions to read that … I might add to my ‘To Read’ shelf."

– That’s Normal Blog

"Make a bucket list or don’t, but it’s always important to have goals and aspirations. If you’re looking for a little inspiration on that front, Things to Do Before You’re 30 will help. It’s funny, insightful, a little over the top, but at the very least it will get you thinking about what you want out of your life. Next thing you know you’ll be in Iceland watching the Northern Lights from an airplane you’re about to jump out of."

– That’s Normal Blog

"Her suggestions are thoughtful and focus on expanding world view and experience, but also on injecting a little fun into an often fraught decade. Her advice isn’t hokey or obvious, and peppered in among the bigger endeavors are quieter ones. It can serve as a bucket list for anyone at any age [but] the book does evoke a certain kinship among us millennials. It may not necessarily give us the answers to our lives, but it at least lets us know we’re not alone in our struggle and that it gets better."

– YA Books Central

"I have been looking for ways to grow and explore as I get closer to the milestone birthday and this book is absolutely perfect. Whether you are about to hit 30 or just looking for a way to add some fun and wonder to your life after 30, you can find some amazing suggestions. You don’t even need to go anywhere for some of her suggestions, but instead bring those you love and care about closer."

– The Nerdy Girl Express

"I am a massive fan of this book. Beautifully illustrated and compiled, it includes 600 recommendations to do before you reach the fabulous age of 30. It’s one of those books to keep close to your bed. When you are feeling in need of inspiration or dare I say bored. Open a page – any page – and look to do one of the suggestions Jessica has given. Some need more forward planning, but often many suggestions can be incorporated into your life with immediate effect."
