A review by raemelle
The Time of My Life by Cecelia Ahern

5.0

This is probably my favorite Cecelia Ahern book so far. An incredibly original story that does require the reader to suspend reality for a bit. It actually reminded me a bit of the movie, Drop Dead Fred. Though in this story, the imaginary friend isn't imaginary, isn't really a friend (at first), and everyone can see him. The concept of this Agency that everyone just accepts exists to employ humanized versions of peoples' lives is a bit hard to wrap the brain around at first, but I got used to it. I've mentioned this before, but I love that Ahern's characters are so flawed. They are actually pretty horrible people. Lucy's compulsive lying gets old really quick, but I think that's part of the character's growth. Magical realism and humor combine for a very charming novel.
