"Coming up to more recent years, I think Meet Joe Black, again, was a tear-jerky chick flick for me that I loved. And the performances…Anthony Hopkins can do no wrong, Brad Pitt‘s become a favorite as well, and Claire Forlani — stop already! All that girl has to do is blink and I’m enraptured. And that was another romance with a sci-fi twist; death coming to take a holiday."

The story is told from dual perspectives, and our protagonists in this book are Eileen and Lenna. Eileen is Leena’s grandmother, and they decided to swap their lives. Leena was a successful career woman in London, who was very affected by the death of her sister. Eileen is a 79-year-old woman who is a very active part of village society, and she recently got dumped by her husband.

I enjoyed this book, really I did, but I felt like this was overhyped a bit. While I understand the whole point was to make the reader realize how precious life is and the importance of just living, instead of fearing death, it all felt too pressured, too forced. The idea itself, however - of a world that can tell you that you're going to die today - was pretty interesting.
