Summary
The stunning and magical new novel from the Number One bestselling author
Lying on Lucy Silchester’s carpet one day when she returns from work is a gold envelope. Inside is an invitation – to a meeting with Life. Her life. It turns out she's been ignoring it and it needs to meet with her face to face.
It sounds peculiar, but Lucy’s read about this in a magazine. Anyway, she can’t make the date: she’s much too busy despising her job, skipping out on her friends friends and avoiding her family.
But Lucy’s life isn’t what it seems. Some of the choices she’s made – and stories she’s told – aren’t what they seem either. From the moment she meets the man who introduces himself as her life, her stubborn half-truths are going to be revealed in all their glory – unless Lucy learns to tell the truth about what really matters to her.
Lucy Silchester has an appointment with her life – and she’s going to have to keep it.
Touching, warm, funny and poignant, Cecelia Ahern's new novel explores what happens when you stop paying attention to your life.

Different and Engaging
Cecilia Ahern has still yet to disappoint me, another book I loved. I look forward to my next one.

An unsure read
I did listen to the whole story, mostly out of curiosity because I had no idea what the book was about or where it was going. It was funny & narrated well but I think I must have missed the point. I thought that epilogue was the most enlightening part of the book, sorry.

Nice quirky book
It took me a few chapters to get 'into' this book but once I did I got really addicted. The main character Lucy is really witty and relatable (for a fellow procrastinator like me). Its an interesting concept that I enjoyed 'reading' and woulddefiniteky recommend it to others.

A little long winded
I struggled to get into this book, and at times found it a bit long winded. The Narrator reads it well, nice sentiments in the epilogue and a sweet story but not one of Cecelia Ahern's strongest works I don't feel

Lovely quirky story
I enjoyed this book and it was easy to get in to. The characters were well presented. The main character is very likeable, struggling to appear confident and happy by weaving a web of innocent lies to hide the fact that she was not, which in turn confuses both family and friends. Whilst she tries to come to terms with the end of a love affair, keep a job, maintain her friendships and pretend all is fine, in walks "Her Life" who helps her to face things and move forward. Lovely quirky story. Recommended.

Not her best
You have to suspend your mind of reality to get into it. The story is original, but not that interesting and the ending corny and predictable.

Brilliant concept
I loved the concept and construct of this story and superb narration as ever and despite being fantastical it was truly relatable - we’ve all lied about something at sometime, right?!

Love Love Love it.
Another great story from Cecilea Ahern. She writes easy to follow stories without complicated plots. This is one of my favourite books so far.
Love the way the main character has to answer to her life!
Something we should all have to do, and hopefully with the same funny outcome.
Well worth a listen if you are a fan of her books.
