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.

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.

In a plot twist, Christine eventually ends up having to be saved by Adam herself as Adam somehow finds meaning in his relationship with Christine. Christine also then finds more meaning in the project that they have and they both end up falling in love. Aside from that, they both try to save each other from their own respective strange thoughts.

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.

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.
