Book Review: The Gift - Cecelia Ahern

Morning all,

I love to read to chill out, it sends me into another world, away from all the stress I'm feeling. But they also help you to take the persons life in the book and use it to reflect on your own life.

The blurb reads:
If you could make one wish,
what would it be? 

Lou Suffern wishes he would be in two places at once. 
His constant battle wit the clock drives his wife and
family crazy.

Gabe is the homeless man who sits outside Lou's office. 
When Lou invites Gabe into the building and into his life, 
Lou's world is changed beyond all measure...

An enchanting and thoughtful story that speaks 
to all of us about the value of time and what 
is truly important in life. 


This is a beautiful story, of how we all feel about life sometimes. Work can over power our home life, trying to make sure our family's want for nothing, but mostly all they want is time with you. Lou finds himself learning that his family just want to spend time with him, and have his focus on them. Its hard to drag him from work!
I'm sure many people can relate to this story set in Ireland, forgetting what is most important in life. Money comes and goes, but time will always run out with all of us. Therefore I will say to you all, spent time with the people you love, do what you enjoy and smile BECAUSE you only get one life, and one chance.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did

Love Lolly
xoxo
