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.

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.

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 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.

The most amazing thing about this story, although a very common plot, is the way Ahern tries to make light of everything. With some injections of humor on to the written material, Ahern tries to make the rather heavy story as reader friendly as possible. The story between the two characters as their relationship buds is by far one of the most amazing as it also mirrors what may really happen in real life.

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.

So as one may see, this is a very interesting book that most likely a lot of people would be glad to read. With its touching story of two people suffering from their own respective problems, they come together to form a strange bond that leads to something amazing. One will definitely have the feels when reading this novel.
