About this listen

‘Tender, funny and romantic’ Marie Claire

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 life is worth living .

Despite her determination, Christine knows what a dangerous promise she's made. 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 happening… ?

A novel to make you laugh, cry and appreciate life, this is Cecelia Ahern at her thoughtful and surprising best.

You don't buy these books for insights or rollercoaster rides through the story and this lives up these expectations. Not the authors best but if you want to disengage the brain and just hope for a nice read - here you go...

Light read about love and life

This story deals with really sensitive issues but in as positive a way as you can get. You fall in love with the characters and are moved by the outcome. Really lovely read.

Heartfelt and Deep

Read beautifully this is a multi-layered story about love, loss and friendship that also manages to show how to deal with suicide and how to listen well. I was really engrossed right to the end even if the romance itself stretched credibility given it's almost direct Cinderella undertones.

Enjoyed every minute!
