The Time of My Life
Cecelia Ahern
Cecelia Ahern's name is very well known in the U.K., but she isn't quite as popular here in the U.S. That changed with the release of the hit movie PS, I Love You, based on one of Ahern's books. Now, we're lucky enough that more of her books are releasing stateside. The Time of My Life focuses on Lucy, who keeps receiving the same invitation in the mail, and keeps ignoring it. But when she opens her door one day and finds a strange man standing on her doorstep, she knows she can't ignore fate any longer. It's sure to be both fun and thought-provoking.
