A review by psitssarahhhh
The Time of My Life by Cecelia Ahern
3.0
This book was ..... interesting. I loved PS I Love You, so when this popped up on my daily book email I was very intrigued.
The concept is fantastic - how cool would it be to MEET the living incarnation of your life? And to have that person/life point out what you did to get you to where you are, and to guide you in a better path (mostly without you knowing)? I think that it's fantastic. Personally, I'm anxiously waiting for my letter from my life.
That being said, some of the plot just bothered me. I didn't particularly like Lucy as I found her to be whiny, self-involved, and a horrible friend. Her lying may have been to make her life "easier" or better but it just became obnoxious. I'm sure that was (partly) the point but it got very old very fast. And while she did end up telling the truth - I still feel like it just didn't flow. All the development happened very close to the end and that being said, ALL the development happened too fast to make any sense. If it had been started closer to the middle of the book then maybe I would have liked it more. I don't know if that makes sense, but honestly the flow of the book didn't always make sense.
Great idea, and it was a good read. I'm very glad I read it. I do think that PS I love you was a tad bit better (in my opinion).
