The reason I decided to read one of Cecelia Ahern's books, was because I really, really liked the book-to-film adaptation of P.S I love you (which is the reason I want to visit Ireland, one day :), so how can I forgot this movie), and of Love, Rosie.

I am glad I made this decision (kind of wish I had made it sooner). I am looking forward to reading more of her work!

I really enjoyed this book, it was funny and also thought provoking. I think anyone could see some of themself in Lucy. I loved the whole concept of the book, how Lucy literally met her Life.
The character development was amazing, and well anyone should read this in my opinion.

Review - In my opinion The Time of My Life was better than The Gift but not as good as P.S. I Love You or Where Rainbows End. The writing was engaging however, and really funny in places. I loved the concept of meeting your life and having them tell you what your life is like. I'd be interested to meet mine, but would probably hate them soon after. The morals of Ahern's stories are always good and this one is no exception - live life to the full and don't dwell on the past. I loved Lucy as a character but I immediately hated Blake and really wanted Lucy to end up with Don. I didn't like Lucy's family - I think there was too much pressure there.

Genre - Chic Lit / Romance / Drama

Characters - Lucy Silchester / Don / Blake / Riley Silchester

Setting - London (England)

Series - N/A

Dette er historien om Lucy Silchester, der lyver for sine venner, sin familie og ikke mindst sig selv. En dag får hun brev om at hendes liv vil mødes med hende. Til at begynde med fandt jeg dette ret underligt, hvordan kan man få et brev fra ”sig selv”? Men det blev hurtigt opklaret. Til at starte med kan Lucy ikke fordrage sit liv – han er sjusket, grim og har det i det hele taget ikke godt, og dette passer jo slet ikke, for Lucy synes jo hendes liv er helt ok. Hen af vejen bliver det dog klart for hende at hun og hendes liv bestemt ikke har det godt – og det skal de i samarbejde forsøge at ændre på, bl.a. ved at afsløre alle Lucy’s løgne, hvilket hun bestemt ikke er stor fan af!

Lucy’s beskrivelse af hendes forhold til hendes far er en af mine yndlingspassager i bogen – der får den bestemt ikke for lidt ironi!

Det er en virkelig rørende, til tider tåkrummende pinlig og underholdende fortælling om hvor vigtigt det er at være gode venner med sit liv, og at er vigtigt at tage vare og passe godt på det – vi har jo kun det ene!

Once again a great book by Cecelia Ahern. Not one of my favorites but nonetheless I couldn't put it down :)
I love how her books always have a touch of magic to them. Makes me escape reality for a while and that makes me happy.
This book has a great message, it makes you question what you are doing with your life? Whether you're living it to the full or not?
Cecelia Ahern is my favourite author
