Beschreibung

She has just two weeks. Two weeks to teach him how to fall in love - with his own life.

Adam Basil and Christine Rose are thrown together late one night, when Christine is crossing the Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin. Adam is there, poised, threatening to jump.

Adam is desperate - but Christine makes a crazy deal with him. His 35th birthday is looming and she bets him that before then she can show him that life is worth living.

Against the ticking of the clock, the two of them embark on wild escapades, grand romantic gestures and some unlikely late-night outings. Slowly, Christine thinks Adam is starting to fall back in love with his life. But is that all that's starting to happen?

This. Book. Is. Wonderful. It took me awhile to read it. Normally I try to catch up Cecelia Aherns stories pretty much in time after the release. But I don't know what happened that I needed two years before getting it but now I'm done and it was one of her best. Sometimes it is important to read something special at the right time not to flash through but with the feeling for the upcoming. It was the first time I read Ahern in English. I have always so much respect before I start a book in english not because I wouldn't understand but it's more special. To know that these were the original words not the translator who may changed something to make it fitter for the German grammar. Anyway, back to the story. I felt for Adam and was with Christine. I don't want to get into details of why but during the reading I made many pauses. I had to think about what I read. I had to rethink everything. Life, Love, Death. It all just came up. This book ... I cried, laughed and just knew how they felt. Both of them. Read it. If you need something for the heart and mind, read it. If you have personal problems or issues or you know someone who has ... read it. It is wonderful and sweet but heartbreaking. At the last few pages I even bit my nails down because I was so nervous. I couldn't put it down and even didn't realise that my husband went to bed. A few days ago I actually got the chance to meet Cecelia Ahern. It was overwhelming and I still can't believe it ... but I had the opportunity to talk to her. Even I have lost my knowledge in speaking I told her that I'm reading "How to fall in love" and she said 'maybe I will fall in love after reading' , I said I'm married since eight years. so she was a bit surprised but said kindly 'maybe you fall in love with him a bit deeper.' Thank you Cecelia for that advice. But maybe it isn't just about how to fall in love (deeper) maybe it's about how to fall in love with life again. Maybe it is something between the whole thing. It is always the same when I read something from her: Butterflies just flying around and I want to cuddle the characters and say "everything will be fine, I'm here if not". Thank you Cecelia Ahern for everything.

Rating: 3.5/5 stars I was smiling throughout the book, you know just the kind of book Cecelia would write. Such diverse characters with real problems, problems you face in day to day life. I loved the issues raised in the book and how all of them were tackled. Thank you for this book Cecelia. Full review to come.

Das Buch war…problematisch. Eine sehr, sehr ernste Thematik. Und eine toxische Beziehung. Das ist das Grundgerüst, auf dem das Buch aufgebaut ist. Es ist nie, nie, nie gut, eine Beziehung mit einem Menschen einzugehen, mit dem Ziel „Dich rette ich!“. Denn wenn du das nicht schaffst, wer rettet dich? Man wird sich auf ewig die Schuld dafür geben. Ich finde es auch problematisch, wie von „Depressionen“ geschrieben wurde, eine Krankheit, die ein Mensch haben kann, dem es an nichts fehlt. Hier wirkt es eher so ala „Alles läuft in deinem Leben schief und du bist traurig? Dann hast du Depressionen.“ Warum habe ich aber doch 3 Sterne gegeben? Weil die Autorin schreiben kann! Schreibstil macht glaube ich zu viel für mich aus. Und ich konnte mich gut mit der Protagonistin identifizieren (was wiederum einige Erkenntnisse über mich eröffnet). Das Ende fand ich übrigens zu leicht. Je länger ich hier schreibe, desto überzeugter bin ich, doch nur 2 Sterne zu geben. Für die ernste Thematik ist das Buch zu leicht.

War okay. Nicht ganz mein Genre. Trotz des schweren Themas brachte das Buch auch viele schöne Momente mit sich und fühlte sich nicht so schwer an. So richtig verbunden gefühlt habe ich mich mit den Charakteren aber nicht.
