The How To Fall In Love Book Review

By Douglas Hamilton


If one would want to enjoy a nice and heart warming love story about two people undergoing a tough time in life, this novel by Cecelia Ahern is the best to read. Just to give one an idea, the title of her novel is how to fall in love and it is a modern day love story fairy tail. To get an idea of what it is about, continue to read this how to fall in love book review.

The two main characters of the story are Adam and Christine. One night, Christine saw Adam trying to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge but stops his attempted suicide anyway and tries to help convince him that life is definitely worth living for. However, Christine has a deadline in which she only has until the birthday of Adam before he attempts again.

Along the way, Christine, who is the one who is originally supposed to save Adam, also gets strange feelings from the harshness of life. Two weeks after, Christine also starts to experience some weird things going on in her head. From there, both characters realize that they both need to save each other from their own strange thoughts.

One of the most interesting aspects of the story would be the interaction of the characters, two of which, have opposing personalities. Christine is a happy type who loves to help people out and try to encourage them to do better. Eventually, she struggles to make sense of everything after she decided to leave her husband since she felt she did not love him anymore.

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.

Although some readers would see this as a rather common plot, what makes it different would be the way it is written. With some aspects of humor and the other about the seriousness about life, Ahern is able to create a striking balance in writing style which is amazing to read. Of course, the story and development between the two is the most important part which was masterfully written.

The thing about covering suicide and life problems is that these topics are rather hard to cover. What makes the novel amazing is how Ahern covered them. She made the novel very enjoyable to read and also quite light with a heavy topic such as the harshness of life.

For those who are after this kind of story, this is definitely a must read. Through the life stories of both the characters, one can actually see how life really is through their eyes. It is definitely a story for those who want something to make them feel warm and fuzzy inside.
