About this listen

Imagine the worst day of your life. Now imagine living it on repeat....

This Friday the 13th has been particularly unlucky.

Jess has been fired from her comfortable job. She's gone from dating two guys to none. She's been kicked out of her mediocre flat. And worst of all, she's really really let down her best friend.

As she drifts off to sleep, she is filled with relief that this terrible day is over. Tomorrow she will try to fix things; tomorrow cannot be any worse than this.

Except it is. Maybe not worse...but exactly the same. When Jess wakes up the next morning, it is Friday the 13th again. And again. And again. And again.

Jess knows how this goes; she's seen the films; this is her wake up call. But she had no idea she needed a wake up call. How is Jess supposed to work out where she's gone wrong when, as far as she's concerned, she's been having the time of her life?

Perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, this modern-day Groundhog Day is the ultimate escape for anyone who has ever wanted a do-over.

Critic reviews

"The Time of My Life is a gem—funny, warm and surprising." (Adam Kay)

A beautifully written and read loop of self realisation and personal improvement, set in east London.

A Doug Couplandesque mug full of hopefulness.

At first I didn’t like the main character and was worried I was expected to relate to her but as the story unfolded, I found myself changing my opinion. There were several times I was worried that I was supposed to like her and the plot despite her self-absorbancy, flippancy and grating personality but I stuck with it and was pleasantly surprised (don’t want to spoil anything…). I found myself listening to it at every opportunity I had and I throughly enjoyed the heartwarming and thought-provoking writing. Looking forward to trying the author’s other book, I’ll definitely keep an eye out for future releases of hers!

Addictive, couldn’t put it down!
