wordsofclover 's review for:
The Time of My Life
by Cecelia Ahern
I always enjoy Cecelia Ahern's books but this one is probably one of my favorites so far. It was so witty and when a book makes you laugh out loud on packed public transport, you know it's a good one.
The idea of having to face to someone who has had to deal with all the consequences of your choices is brilliant and the fact that meeting your Life was a norm in this book and no-one questioned it was great. It meant the reader could just accept it as well.
Lucy was a great character, we could tell she used to great fun, vivacious, spontaneous and very open but that was all a part of her with Blake and we could see how all the lies turned into someone who was just a shell of her old shelf. Watching her slowly come out was great.
One of the best things I liked at the end was that not everything had a simple solution...yes, her wrong number was actually the right number for her but she didn't suddenly have a magic epiphany of what she wanted to do with her life job-wise and has ended up probably cleaning carpets and there wasn't a magic reconciliation with her father and they became best friends. She realizes that is never going to happen and that is fine by her and she tells herself that it's ok and she will just have to try her best in not going out of her way to annoy her.
And the very last paragraph made me well up a little bit. It felt very emotional and I think if there was anybody reading the book going through a tough time, it would be a really great and inspirational help to them.Beautiful :)
