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?… (más)

Olivia Strauss is Running Out of Time is a great palate cleanser read - I read it coming off a great book and it was the perfect novel to keep me out of a slump. This book is a bittersweet, quick read about Olivia Strauss taking a test that gives you the exact date of your death. From commentary on life after loss to grappling with the permanence of death, Angela Brown has written a great book that is easy to read for all ages! ( )

This was.....good....and I really hate to be critical but it did go through SOOO much to sort of get anywhere. I got tired of Olivia being so confused about her life ---it just seemed like too much fussing after a while and all too self-centered. As for her friend??? Lost in the shuffle of ME, ME, ME....until...what happened in the end. (potential spoiler alert) ( )

I started out feeling annoyed with Olivia - why was she so unsure of who she was and where she was going? But gradually I began to see her fear - fear of failure, of not being who she thought she should be. The most affirming part of this book was the fact that Olivia had such good emotional support in the form of her husband. The twist at the end of the novel was both expected and also heartbreaking.
