Lying on Lucy Silchester's carpet one day when she returns from work is a gold envelop. 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 too busy despising her job, skipping out on her friend 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 matters to her.
Lucy Silchester has an appointment with her life ? and she's going to have to keep it.
