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 sounds peculiar, but Lucy's read about this in a magazine. Anyway, she can't make the date: she's much to busy despising her job, skipping out on her 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 she learns to tell the truth about what really matter to her.
Lucy Silchester has an appointment with her life - and she's going to have to keep it.
Touching, warm, funny and poignant, Celia Ahern's new novel explores what happens when you stop paying attention to your life.
