Book Review: The Time Of My Life

The Time Of My Life - by Cecelia Ahern
2012
484 pages

Synopsis (from Goodreads)
Dear Lucy Silchester, You have an appointment for Monday 27th July 2011. Yours sincerely Life.

Lucy Silchester has received an appointment card. Actually, she's been invited along a few times to this appointment, but she keeps brushing the gold embossed envelope under the shag pile carpet. She's taken her eye off the ball and has busied herself with work (a job she doesn't love), helping out friends, fixing her car, feeding her cat, seeing her family and devoting her time to their life dramas. But Lucy is about to find out that this is one appointment that she can't miss. And she can't escape it either. Her Life is about to catch up with her in the most surreal of ways.

Rating 5/5 Stars

Review (from my Goodreads)
I absolutely loved reading this book. I'm very picky on my "chick-lit" reads, but this one was really good. She writes well with a lot of good wit, sarcasm, and descriptions that aren't over-the-top but rather have humour in them. The characters were believable - even her Life - and I loved that I could picture each and every one of them in every scene. Not to mention, I love how the book ended - predictable, yes, but still it was what I wanted. I'll definitely be trying other books by Ahern in the future!
