Reviewing The How To Fall In Love Book

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.

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.

Now, Christine is the type of happy and optimistic person who has a high enthusiasm for self help books. Christine tries to always help her friends and family out by encouraging them to always see the better side of things. However, things took a downturn when she realized that she did not love her then husband anymore and decided to break the marriage.

Adam, on the other hand, is the next generation heir of a big chocolate brand known as Basil Chocolates. Although he does not want that position, he will have to take it in the light of his dying father. At the same time, he lost his loved job and also has his long time girlfriend cheat on him. In light of all this, he meets Christine on the night he attempted suicide.

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.

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.
