The Time of My Life
￥95.39
Dear Lucy Silchester, You have an appointment for Monday, May 30, 2011. Yours sincerely, Life. Lucy Silchester keeps receiving this appointment card and sweeping the envelope under the rug. Literally. Instead, she has busied herself with work (a job she doesn't love), helping out friends, fixing her car, feeding her cat, seeing her family, and devoting her time to their life dramas. But she stuck in a rut and deluding everyone. Only Lucy knows the real truth. Then one day life shows up at her door, in the form of a rather run-down man in an old suit, who is determined to bring about change. Life follows Lucy everywhere the office, bars meets her flabbergasted friends, and won't let Lucy off the hook. What she learns in the process is that some of the choices she made, and stories she told, aren't what they seem either. Now 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.
