THE TIME OF MY LIFE
Cecelia Ahern

Reviewed by Sharon Salituro

Fiction Family Life

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.

SUMMARY

"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 everywhereβ€”the office, barsβ€”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.
