The How To Fall In Love Book Review

By Douglas Hamilton


A lot of books about suicide and the harsh reality of life have spread throughout the book market these days as people do like to read something they can relate to. One of the most well known and well loved ones would be How to Fall In Love by Cecelia Ahern. To know more a bit about this wonderful novel, take a look at this how to fall in love book review.

In the story, the protagonists are Christine and Adam meet each other when Christine stops the attempted suicide of Adam. Basically, the whole story is about Christine trying to help Adam get through his suicidal tendencies and try to convince him that life is actually a good thing and not to be wasted. The catch is that she only has until the birthday of Adam before he tries again.

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.

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 heavy themes in this novel include suicide, harshness of life, and all the other serious aspects are supposed to make the story a dramatic one. However, Ahern was still able to make the heaviness lighten up a little bit. This will create a very heartwarming story for people in the desired age bracket.

As one can see, this is probably one of the most interesting books ever written in this genre of novels. It is a touching tale of two people, one going through a failed marriage and one wanting to die, coming together and ultimately helping each other through life. It is definitely a tale that would make one feel a sense of humanity again.
