in/of my life
Hello,
I have a question concerning superlative forms of adjectives and the expression 'my life'.
It was the best party of my life.
They were the best holidays of my parents' life/lives.
It was the best trip of Andy's life.
Is it a mistake if I say 'in my life', 'in my parents' life', 'in Andy's life'?
Thank you for your help

Hi Both are OK, but "best of" is more usual There's a film, and also song lyrics, for "Best years of my life", "Best days of our lives", etc. But "in" is not so usual Dave
