Cecelia Ahern has made a career out of taking real life issues and bringing them to the page with a gorgeous fantasy twist and The Time Of My Life is no different. This joy filled novel takes on one of our greatest struggles as people, living life to the full, and with gorgeous prose and heart warming characters brings this issue to the page.
From the blurb;
'Are you taking your life for granted?
'Lucy Silchester is. She's busied herself with other stuff: friends' lives, work issues, her deteriorating car, that king of thing. But she's stuck in a rut - and deluding everyone. Only Lucy knows the real truth.
'Time for a wake-up-call - a meeting with life. And life turns out to be a kindly, rather run-down man in an old suit, who is determined to bring about change - and won't let Lucy off the hook.
'Sometimes we all need to make time for out life...'
This novel is a testament to Ahern's understanding of people and real world issues. As the story carries us through the dismal affair of Lucy's life and brings us the rather entertaining character of life itself, we are given thought-provoking reasons to consider our own lives.
The perfect read for anyone looking to make a change in their life, The Time Of My Life is a love letter to anyone and everyone who has been stuck in a rut at any point in their lives and, with humour and insight, encourages readers to go out and live as their life, should it come to bug them, would want.
An enjoyable read that flows across the pages The Time Of My Life is another success story from Ahern that will fill readers with joy.
