Book Review #1: The Time of My Life by Cecelia Ahern

Hello everyone and welcome to November! I can't believe I'm actually saying that. This morning when I woke up I was like "Oh my God! It's November!"

Anyways, this post as you can probably already tell is my review of The Time of My Life by Cecelia Ahern.

Now, if you've read her first novel P.S I Love You (or, at least, saw the massively successful movie) you'll probably have very high expectations of the talented phenomenon. I know I certainly did. And, with this book, she exceeded my expectations and really delivered.

What is the basis of the plot, you may just be wondering? 

Well, the main character Lucy Silchester lives in Ireland, busying herself with all of life's stresses. When she leasts expects it, she figures out that she hasn't been paying much attention to her life, that's when it intervenes. Life. In the form of a full grown human man.

Initially, I'd seen this book lying around at the library and even at the supermarket. I'd been interesting in reading it but never actually had the chance to pick it up. Then just over a week ago, I found it in my local bookstore, and it was part of a deal (who doesn't love a good bargain when it comes to books?!) so I picked it up. I REALLY enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone that loves a good story that is so original, quirky and, if I'm honest, absolutely hilarious. I'll be honest, I was a little skeptical at first but once I got into the story, I was addicted. The book was constantly in my hand, whilst I read and ignored pretty much everyone as I was getting through the last twenty or so pages. What? It was just that good.

A definite 5/5 stars from me!

Happy reading!
