Book review : Time of My Life

Author : Allison Winn Scotch
Publisher : Shaye Areheart Books, NY.
Year : 2008

What if we could go back to back to a previous period of your life? Would you see things differently thus made different decisions ? What today would be, if we did make a different decision? Though a friend of mine said that only today matters, sometimes I couldn't help thinking of it. Apparently, I am not the only person :)

Jillian has a perfect husband, lives in a nice suburb, and spends her days to be a good house-wife and a good mother. But who knows that she felt empty inside? As her husband's rising career demands him to travel a lot, their marriage is getting dry. She starts wondering a lot of "what if" that might happen if she had chosen a very different path. Would she have a good career instead of doing the laundry and trying to make her house spotless? Would she end up with Henry if she didn't leave Jack ~ her ex ?

She finally got a chance to answer those questions when she suddenly woke up in her pre-marriage life. It's now up to her to make either same decisions or completely different ones. Would that change her life path?

Among the clever plots, my favorite part of this novel is the way Allison ends this novel. It's a happy ending, yet far from a predictable ending that I anticipated. Two thumbs up for her.

Thanks to Matthew Scotch that sent mass messages about this book :D. It's way beyond my expectation. If you're a woman who likes to laugh about your own life, or if you're a reflective person who always seeks for answers, you will love this book. So girls, don't wait to read it. You won't be disappointed. It's not just another chicklit as I thought before.

Turned out alright

Last week everything turned out alright :) Jumat siang, dengan restu teman2 kantor :p gw cabut dari kantor, walaupun area leader gw ngajakin meeting buat next recipe, tapi dia bilang "Go ahead and don't worry about the meeting, you better get your license today :p" . Jam 12.30an, gw dijemput sama orang dari driving school, dan ngebutlah kita ke DMV Norristown ngejar ujian jam 2 siang. Gw deg2an banget, apalagi karena udah gagal 1x. Kalau gw fail lagi, means that I screw everything up. Karena in the next four weeks para tebengan bakalan cabut ke site di Oregon (gak mungkin kan gw jalan 2 mile ke kantor), kontrak apartment gw habis akhir September dan gw harus cari apartment baru, dan ada chance gw bakalan dikirim ke Oregon juga (walaupun bukan shift pertama). Tapi above it all, hidup tergantung sama orang lain itu sucks. Gw gak bisa bebas ke mana-mana, gak bisa cari kegiatan dan temen2 sendiri (temennya ya cuman temen dari temen gw), gak ada social life sama sekali. Nyampe...

Cause we both know that expectation kills ...

A friend said, "You are going nowhere, until any of you have the guts to talk about what kind of relationship it is. Even if you both only want companionship, it should be discussed to avoid misunderstanding.Then it's just the matter of time until you both get exhausted." Too bad, I don't have the courage.
