The Time of My Life

A Novel

De: Cecelia Ahern

Narrado por: Amy Creighton

Lucy Silchester keeps receiving this strange appointment card and sweeping its gold embossed envelope under the rug. Literally. She busies herself with a job she doesn't like, helping out friends, fixing her car, feeding her cat, and devoting her time to her family’s dramas. But Lucy is about to find out that this is one appointment she can’t miss, when Life shows up at her door, in the form of a sloppy but determined man.

Life follows her everywhere – from the office, to the bar, and to her bedroom – and Lucy learns that some of the choices she has made and the stories she has told aren’t what they seem. Now her half-truths are about to be revealed, unless Lucy tells the truth about what really matters to her.

The Time of My Life is another warm, thought-provoking novel from Cecelia Ahern, internationally bestselling author of P.S. I Love You.

Great narrator, great story. It makes you think about your life too.

Loved it

I was so enraged in this book. I loved the reading and the concept was so different that it kept me interested the entire time. Loved it

Absolute stunner

I've listened to this one three times and it's still one of my faves. The story is redemptive, different, charming and still very relatable. Lucy, the protagonist, is living a boring lifeless day-to-day until her literal Life, an actual person, orders an audit of her life to fix it. Both the main characters are so weirdly lovable and remain interesting. The reason this book is so good is that it sneakily gets you to examine your existence and wonder if your "Life" were to contact you, would it be happy? Would it want to change things about yourself? The narrator is also fantastic, except for how she pronounces the word "awkward" (ooork-werd?!)

Either way, this book is a goddamn delight and you WILL love it.

Wish it didn't have to end!

I love, love, love Cecelia Ahern AND the choice of reader!

This book is entertaining and thought-provoking. I cried.

Loved it!!!

I loved this book! I could totally identify with the main character's need to fit in her surrounding world. Listened to it in less than three days because I couldn't put it down :)

Loved this story

I thoroughly enjoyed the premise of this book, to read something you know is pure fiction but makes you laugh and cry and even think about your own life and wish it could happen to you. I also loved the narrators accent, I saw some people complain about how she said awkward, but that's her cute little Irish accent, if we were there, they'd think we Said it funny too!
anyway if you want a guilty pleasure, read this book, it might seem silly to some, but I sure wish my life could follow me around for a while!!

The Listen of Your Life

Cecelia Ahern does it again! This might just be the listen of your life. If only life actually came calling when you needed him the most, even if you might not necessarily want him.

The Time of My Life might just change your life.

This book came into my life at the perfect moment. Though it is far from being a self help book, I found it so thought provoking that it's really put MY LIFE and my relationship to it into a whole new perspective.

Not much has been good in Lucy's life for the past 3 years. A shocking emotional blow leaves her devastated and unable to cope. To try to get through it, she tells one lie. Which leads to another. And another and another until her entire life us basically one giant lie.

Thanks, Life shows up. Lucy's world has to be turned upside down to ever get it put right again.

The Time of My Life is everything I love in a book. It has heart and depth and humor and romance, plenty of fun and a few tears. Cecelia Ahearn has woven a tale full of vibrant characters in a compelling story of love lost and redemption.

Amy Creighton is once again the perfect reader and she makes Lucy and all those in her life come alive.

Fantastic read. Highly, highly recommend.

Laughed Out Loud in Places!

This witty, clever and charming book was the first one I have read by Cecelia Ahern. Intrigued by the premise of Life calling a meeting with Lucy, I kept wondering what would happen. How would an author create a character such as Life? Enjoyed it thoroughly all the way through!

As a bonus, the narration by Amy Creighton was superb. She captured the essence of Lucy and the cast of characters. I look forward to "reading" more audio books by this duo!
