A woman has no choice left but to enjoy the adventure of life - and its surprises - in a funny and emotionally moving comedy of errors about the gifts of growing older.

Olivia Strauss is turning thirty-nine. No major milestone. She still considers herself young. At least young enough to assume she has decades (emphasis on the plural) to check the unchecked boxes of her life’s to-do list.

Ballerina? Too late. But not too late for poet. Or for reigniting the romantic spark in her marriage, spending more quality time with her son, switching careers, learning to cook, or even dyeing her hair a bright bohemian pink. She’ll get to that one. There’s time - until Olivia’s best friend, Marian, gives her a birthday present she could have lived without.

It’s a visit to a trendy wellness clinic with a state-of-the-art genetic test that can predict the exact date of one’s death. It’s just what Olivia’s always wanted: an expiration date. As for her aspirations, who knew they were limited-time offers? One thing’s for sure. Olivia’s got a lot of living to do. At this point, what could go wrong?

It was pretty entertaining and a good concept. I didn’t love the performance. And very obviously predictable.

Ok

The story did nothing for me but the narration was so bad I could barely even get through it. MAYBE it’s better as an actual book than an audiobook, but no promises.

Terrible narration

No matter what particular birthday you might be celebrating this year Olivia’s story will resonate with your own life journey. Her obsessive behavior after learning some shocking news during her 39th birthday sets up a year of change, reflection and growth. It shows that we are never to old or young to start embracing the life we have and living it to the fullest!

Living life to the fullest!

The message was nice. I didn’t like the book. The characters were not relatable. The story line was all over the place. The narrator’s voice was annoying. It sounded like every sentence had an explanation point at the end.

Nice message. Not a great book.

I don’t know if the book gets better or not because I’m not reading any further and I’m only on the eighth chapter. The narrator sounds like she’s just rambling and I can’t listen anymore. It could be the writing though, I’m not sure. I am sure that there was nothing really interesting as far as I read to keep me invested in the main character or her story. I used to be unable to quit a book that I started but as a Kindle Unlimited member it’s becoming easier and easier to do so. Others may not mind the narration but it’s a no for me.

A monster.
The title character of this book is one of the most unlikable characters in any that I have ever read. Selfish to the last page. You wish she really were running out of time, but unfortunately her petty whining and coming out on top is the awful trend of this book. Do not read if you recently lost someone you love. It makes a mockery of the whole grieving process.

Olivia Strauss is…

Olivia was too whiny and self absorbed. It took long to get to the point. At least 10+ chapters could have been deleted and I think I would have enjoyed it more. Disappointing. 3 other book club members feel the same way. :(

Olivia Strauss is whiny.

I couldn’t get past the errors in grammar, sentence structure and even word The main character is incredibly self absorbed and seemingly incapable of introspection and yet is supposed to be a writer? So many flaws in logistics in the story. On audio version the narrator is overly dramatic while verbalizing mundane dialogue and activities.

Nothing redeeming here

This was supposed to be funny. It is not. I can’t even finish it, while listening my mind would drift because the story is so boring and taking too long to develop. Wish I could return this one.

Can’t even finish it…

I really appreciated the story being centered around two best friends. It was a fun listen with a heartfelt life lesson.,

Interesting story! Fun novel!
