The How To Fall In Love Book Review

By Douglas Hamilton


Cecelia Ahern has become a well known author because of one of her famous novels that appeal to a lot of people who enjoy magic and a good heart warming story. This novel of hers is known as a modern fairy tail that caters to grown ups instead of children. In order to know more about this, check out this How to Fall In Love Book review.

Christine and Adam are the main characters in the story wherein they both meet when Adam tries to kill himself by jumping off a bridge. Christine in turn, tried to help Adam and convince him that life is worth living and that he should try to give life another chance. Of course, the catch would be that Christine would be able to do this with a deadline of the birthday of Adam.

Somewhere along the line, Christine, who is the one who is supposedly to save Adam, ends up being saved by Adam too in a strange twist. In two weeks, Christine discovers a lot more to life than what she is used to and ends up with her own strange thoughts. In the story, both will end up trying to save each other from their own selves.

Just to get a better idea of the characters, Christine is a self help book enthusiast who just came out from a divorce. She is the type who loves to help out people and try to encourage them to find the better in themselves. Although her failed marriage left her in a depressing situation, her project with Adam ends up as something to keep her occupied.

Adam is the heir to the Basil Chocolates which is something that he does not want. His father is on his deathbed and he recently lost his job. He also discovered that his long time girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend. This is where he meets Christine while attempting to kill himself.

While the plot of the story is a rather common one, Ahern is a master in writing about it in such as way that it is unique to read. In her novel, she combines some elements of humor and also some elements of seriousness in order to create a balance that would really appeal to the readers. Most importantly, the love story of the two characters is very touching and one can see the development of the two through their rather odd relationship.

The topics of suicide, life problems, and self help are very delicate topics to write about because they represent what really happens in real life. However, Ahern was able to get a few serious topics and create something that is enjoyable to the readers. A heartwarming story is about to unfold in this novel.

So as one may see, this is a very interesting book that most likely a lot of people would be glad to read. With its touching story of two people suffering from their own respective problems, they come together to form a strange bond that leads to something amazing. One will definitely have the feels when reading this novel.
