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.

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.

On the other side, Adam is actually the rich heir of Basil Chocolates. He is to be the heir of the company in lieu of his dying father. Life took a turn for the worst when he tries to kill himself because he lost his job and his girlfriend cheats on him with his best friend.

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.

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.
