How to Save a Life by Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke

A special thank you to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

To say that Dom is having a bad day is an understatement. And to make matters worse, he can't escape it.

Don and Mia broke up almost a decade ago and he's never gotten over her. So when he bumps into his ex-fiancée in a serendipitous meeting, he can't help but think that fate has intervened and offered him a second chance.

When Mia tragically dies on their date, Dom makes a plea to the universe to be given the opportunity to save her. The next morning, Dom wakes up and is ecstatic to learn that his wish came true—Mia is still alive! But no matter what he does, day after day, she meets the same terrible fate.

The harder Dom tries, the more obsessed he becomes with saving Mia and rekindling their relationship. Forced to take a long hard look at who he has become, Dom needs to work through his life choices in order to be a better version of himself and save Mia in the process.

How to Save a Life is modern twist on Groundhog Day that asks the question: How far are you willing to go to save the life of someone you love?

Fenton and Steinke are a powerhouse duo that are truly gifted storytellers. Over the course of the narrative, they explore several scenarios for Dom to tackle his flaws which he believes will rescue Mia. They also look at the effects of grief and extreme trauma, and juxtapose this against love and missed opportunities.

I absolutely loved it. Congratulations, Liz and Lisa!
