Despite how morbid the blurb sounds, this novel wasn't all doom and gloom. Yes it covered some pretty serious topics - heartbreak, depression, suicide, bullying... - but there were just as many laughs and sweet moments, I felt I was smiling inside way more than shedding a tear.
I've loved every Cecelia Ahern novel so far, but this one read slightly differently for me, slightly more Marian Keyes that some of her others. Loveable characters, witty punchlines, a quirky family and a creative way to weave an unusual 'How-To' dependancy through a love story.

This was another gem by Cecilia. I was totally hooked after the first few pages and was drawn in by her witty play with words. The only thing that prevented me from giving this book a 5 star rating is that about two thirds of the way into the book, I found that the pacing was a little bit too slow for me. I highly recommend this book as it was a most enjoyable read! This novel inspires me to read more books by this talented author.

This is up there with some of my favourite romances, it’s dark and kind of sad but also entirely wholesome and romantic. I love it.

I bought this book before boarding a plane in November last year. (2013) I read the blurb, saw the cover, and it attract me. I was going to buy the book, even if it was the worst book in the world, i didn't care. I wanted it. I bought it, i read 3 chapters on the plane, and then forgot about it. I discovered it again yesterday, and boom. I couldn't put it down. I ended up finishing it the same day. I think it was written really well, and it's like dark, but it get's better. i feel like it gives off the message "Out of darkness, comes light." It's also shows things can get better, and it's beautiful. I would recommend it to everyone who loves a happy ending, and Irish humor. It's totally worth it. I also love how big the book is. Give it a read. [a:Cecelia Ahern|7116|Cecelia Ahern|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1383481955p2/7116.jpg]

O primeiro contacto com a escritora Cecelia Ahern (autora do bestseller PS: - Eu Amo-te).
Neste romance, Christine Rose procura durante 2 semanas maneiras de fazer Adam Basil voltar a gostar de viver. Uma tarefa que parece bastante complicada pois a vida de Christine também está de pernas para o ar.
Tem uma escrita bastante fluida. Contudo, não consegui que o livro que viciasse e custou-me um pouco o início.
