My initial impression is this is not what I thought this book would be about. With a title like that you would think it would be a love story. The story starts very sadly, and the tone feels like it will be a depressing story after our main character Christine, witnesses a suicide attempt by a man. This event is life changing for her that she somehow ends up making a deal with another man who attempts to jump off a bridge to help him want to live and she has 2 weeks to do it in. I am confused why she would think she would be able to accomplish this task and how she ended taking on the role. Christine also loves to read self help books~ books entitled 52 Ways of How To Feel Better... or 25 Ways to Live a Happy Life, and tries some of these on herself and those she helps. In the same vein as Ahern's previous books, she introduces a cast of characters all very different, and unrelated from each other, and she weaves a story that ties in all these people together and there is a reason for it. By the end, it will make sense and make you feel good about the characters involved. Overall, I enjoyed this story very much and it holds some positive messages, and humor in certain parts.
