Cecelia Ahern book, THE TIME OF MY LIFE has humor, insight
and really makes you
think. I found myself really thinking about my life.
What would you do all of a sudden if your life was a person?
Lucy is the main character, but you could insert your own
name. Lucy is dealing with trying to get over the love of
her life, the job she gave up, and her parents. Her life,
Cosmo Brown is here to help her sort out her issues. We get
to meet other people who also are having difficulty
dealing with problems in their lives. Lucy interacts with a
lot of these characters. Cosmo follows Lucy to her job, her
parent's home, and in finding the reason for all that is
going on in her life.
Cecelia Ahern puts you right into the story line. She makes
you really think about your own life. Good, bad or other
wise. I found myself really thinking about my life.
Cecelia makes you feel like this book was written just for
you. Every one has bad things in their lives that upset
them. Cecelia makes you see the humor in certain things.
She also makes you realize that maybe things are not as bad
as they seem.
I did find myself dealing with some of the same problems
that Lucy is dealing with. What would I do if my life came
to life? In a way, you wish that it could. Would I listen
to my life like Lucy did? Or would I ignore it and continue
on with the way my life is going?
Cecelia Ahern makes you dig into your life. Present, past,
and what will happen in the future. Cecelia's writing is
great. I did not lose interest in THE TIME OF MY LIFE at all. I
continued to read as I was curious on how Lucy's life would
end up. Lucy finds out that telling even the smallest
lie, is not always the best way to handle things. For every
lie Lucy tells, Cosmo makes something happen so that Lucy
has to tell the truth.
THE TIME OF MY LIFE is a great book to really make you think
about not only your
life, but other people's lives as well.
"Dear Lucy Silchester, You have an appointment for Monday,
May 30, 2011. Yours sincerely, Life."
Lucy Silchester keeps receiving this appointment card and
sweeping the envelope under the rug. Literally. Instead, she
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
she's stuck in a rut and deluding everyone. Only Lucy knows
the real truth.
Then one day life shows up at her door, in the form of a
rather run-down man in an old suit, who is determined to
bring about change. Life follows Lucy everywhere—the office,
bars—meets her flabbergasted friends, and won't let Lucy off
the hook. What she learns in the process is that some of the
choices she's made, and stories she's told, aren't what they
seem either. Now her stubborn half-truths are going to be
revealed in all their glory . . . unless Lucy learns to tell
the truth about what really matters to her.
