I know the title sounds cheesy but the book is totally not!! The book is written by Cecelia Ahern. It is the story of Christine Rose, who saves a stranger, Adam, from jumping of the Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin. He tried to kill himself and while talking him out of it, she made the deal that she has two weeks to prove him that life is worth living. Christine realises that this might be a little more complicated than she thought it would be when she finds out about Adam's problems. Christine has to figure out her own life (she just told his husband that she wants to divorce) and now she has to deal with Adam's family issues and love life in order to make him find life worth living again. I don't want to spoil, so I'll stop here and keep it brief. I liked this book and I am planning on reading more from Ahern soon. I can recommend it to everyone who liked The Beginning of Everything, An Abundance of Katherines, and just in general good novels that involve a love story. It is a well-written book and it has some deep parts, it has some funny parts and it has great characters (Christine's (ex)husband is the perfect characterisation of a jealous ex, it is hilarious what he does to annoy Christine). -Nicole

Written by Robyn Schneider, published in 2013. It's a love story, but it's also about friendship and about life. Most of it is really funny, some parts are hilarious, and some are quite profound. It's the story of Ezra Faulkner, the popular kid, after his personal tragedy (a car accident), when his whole life suddenly changes. He meets Cassidy Thrope and discovers that life is more than the school tennis team and becoming prom king. There is something strange about Cassidy, who wears boy's cloth and who has once been very popular as a debater but then stopped competing for some reason, but still Ezra falls in love with her. So of course the book is not only about dicovering life but also about finding out about Cassidy Thrope and about the secret she keeps. If you liked this one, you might also like An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns or Looking for Alaska, although we have only reviewed the first one yet. - Julia This book was written by John Green... and that means it has to be good. After I read The Fault in Our Stars at school, I decided that John Green has to be a good author and my mum got me An Abundance of Katherines for my birthday. It is about Colin, a pretty smart guy who has dated 19 girls called Katherine, and his best friend Hassan who go on a road trip in order to help Colin to get over the last Katherine. She dumped him and so did all the other Katherines. They end up in a little village called Gutshot in the middle of nowhere, and meet Lindsey. Her mom offers them a job and Hassan and Collin stay there over summer. Colin tries to work out a theorem for love, that predicts the way a relationship goes, assuming that there are two types of people in this world: Dumpers and dumpees. Apart from that they get to meet Lindeys friends, amongst them TOC (the other Colin) and it is a really funny encounter. Well I could go on talking about the book but I'd probably tell you the whole story. I really like the book. John Green writes funny and especially the footnotes are entertaining as Collin speaks 11 langauges fluently and him and Hassan love to insult each other in either Arabic or German (my mother tounge - I especially love how he says Sitzpinkler). And even if you hate maths, the book is good. His theorem is explained and most of the book is not even about it so don't worry. Definetly a must read! - Nicole
