Summary

Imogen and her friends Meredith and Nicola have had their fill of budget holidays. So when Meredith wins a VIP holiday at Barcelona's hippest new hotel, they plan to sip champagne with the jet set and party. But when the worst crisis of her working life erupts, Imogen has to juggle her BlackBerry with a Manhattan. Between a robbery and an encounter on a nudist beach, the friends stumble from one disaster to the next.

Easy read, not too slushy

I thought this was going no where to begin with but glad I stuck with it. Very enjoyable characters and loved the narration. What’s not to like about a happy ending?

Good storyline peppered with LoL moments.

I enjoyed this audiobook. The first time I've listened to this narrator and would gladly listen to her again.

A good story

Another Jane Costello book that was a lovely listen. This book has me laughing out loud. I bought it in a 2 for 1 book deal & glad I did as it is worth a listen but not 1 whole credit. The narrator was ok although I had to raise the narration speed to 1.35

A well written and very well enacted story

The Time of Our Lives was funny and entertaining from start to finish, The main character ‘Imogen’ is a Liverpudlian and the accent assisted the success of the story.

To conclude, I loved the book, pure and simple!

Enjoyable, light read.

This was fun to listen to, and the narrator did a wonderful job. It was also nice to have a scouser narrate a book, I've listened to hundreds and never come across one with an Liverpudlian accent before.
It was well written and the plot moved along nicely...
Sometimes it felt that everything that could go wrong did, it reminded me of the classic rom-com trope of the beautiful leading lady that is just sooooo clumsy and can't stop falling over - and just one make-over away from being drop dead gorgeous! Also I saw the plot twists coming from the first chapter! So at times it was quite irritating.
No the less, I finished the book and enjoyed it.
