Não é muito profundo e nem muito revolucionário, mas é aquele tipo de livro que te ajuda a pegar no tranco pra recuperar o ritmo de leitura mais rápido e frequente. ( ) I am a Cecilia Ahern fan. I have read most of her books and liked most of them. This one is no different. We have a heroine who is seriously messed up. She seems to make a habit of trying to save people from suicide. And the funniest thing is she seems to think that there is a solution for ever problem in a self help book. Initially when she reads random stuff from self help books and tries to apply it, you think she is just screwed up. But she grows on you. Her enthusiasm, her joy, her insecurities. On the side we have Adam. Someone who is determined to see the worst. Determined to end his life. His seriousness, his mood swings were the perfect buffer to her crazy. It was a good book. I enjoyed it. A well-written book, involving likeable characters and involving a very serious issue. Sensitively done, with some light-hearted moments too. A couple of the side-stories didn't seem quite to fit, and one of them doesn't really have a conclusion, but it's a fairly minor gripe. I like the two main characters very much, and the ending was nicely done. Recommended if you like women's fiction with a bit of a bite. Full review here: https://suesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2021/01/how-to-fall-in-love-by-cecelia-aher... Christine Rose is either very lucky or very unlucky, coming across two men within a month of each other who are determined to end their lives. Reeling from the effects of Simon Conway's attempt to end his life, Christine, in her own imitable style, is determined to stop Adam Basil from jumping into the river Liffey. She has just two weeks to make Adam believe that life is worth living - she can do that, can't she? Let's hope so, or she's agreed to let him go back to jump off the Ha'penny Bridge on his birthday - eek! There's something so very comforting about Cecelia Ahern's writing - it flows so smoothly like the Liffey itself and there are many chuckles and sobering thoughts along the way. I loved the character of Christine and how she had a 'how to' self-help book for every occasion, but she doesn't have time to refer to her books to save Adam...she's just going to have to take a leaf out of the book of life. I thought Adam was quite a complex character who appeared to have everything but happiness in his life. It just shows you that money can't buy you everything and happiness can be found in the most unexpected place. How to Fall in Love is full of Irish heart and humour whilst dealing with the very delicate subject of suicide in such a sensitive way. It reminded me that life is worth living even when we think that all hope is lost...you just never know what's round the corner on the bumpy journey of life. How to enjoy an easy and pleasant read I have read a few of Cecelia’s books in my time and you really do get what it says on the tin. It’s been a few years since I’ve read one though and as I started to read it I felt a little cynical, I used to love her books as a young 20 year old. Was my early 30 year old self too old for this kind of romantic novel with predictable outcomes, cliche views and over exaggerated characters? No. She isn’t. By a third of the way through I was hooked by her light humour, flowing writing style and sassy female lead - and yes although the outcome is what you expect, that’s the whole point right? You’re reading this kind of book to escape and feel romance and love and hope. And as always Cecelia delivers. Along with the main characters (Adam and Christine) are others in their own story lines and these are what bring depth to the characters, and the plot as a whole. Will Christine succeed in persuading Adam that life is worth living? It’s worth a read to chuckle at her methods and it’s true what they say, your past plays a huge part in your present. But it’s your present that determines your future. Recommended as a quick and lighthearted read, with enough depth and emotion to make it meaningful and memorable. Well written and satisfying! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
