If one would want to enjoy a nice and heart warming love story about two people undergoing a tough time in life, this novel by Cecelia Ahern is the best to read. Just to give one an idea, the title of her novel is how to fall in love and it is a modern day love story fairy tail. To get an idea of what it is about, continue to read this how to fall in love book review.

Christine and Adam are the main characters in the story wherein they both meet when Adam tries to kill himself by jumping off a bridge. Christine in turn, tried to help Adam and convince him that life is worth living and that he should try to give life another chance. Of course, the catch would be that Christine would be able to do this with a deadline of the birthday of Adam.

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, 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.

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.
