The bestselling authors of The Good Widow deliver a modern, suspenseful twist on Groundhog Day that asks the question: How far are you willing to go to save the life of someone you love?
Dom is having a very bad day—one he literally can’t escape.
When Dom bumps into Mia, his ex-fiancée whom he hasn’t seen in almost a decade, he believes they’ve been given a second chance and asks her out. When Mia dies tragically on their date, Dom makes a desperate wish: to be given the chance to save her life. And when he wakes the next morning to the shock that she’s alive, he thinks his wish may have been granted. But day after day, no matter what he changes about their time together, she still meets a terrible fate.
Dom frantically searches for answers to save his beloved Mia and rekindle their former love. But the further he digs, the more obsessed he becomes, making him realize that slowing down time may be the only way to see things clearly. As he’s forced to confront the truth about himself and those he’s closest to, Dom vows that he’ll watch Mia die a thousand times if it means he can save her once.
My thoughts about How to Save a Life ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)
First line—"This bulge in my pants is making me sweat."
OMG! This book drained me emotionally! But in a good way. How is that even possible?

Dom is in a weird Groundhog Day loop, having to relive the day that his ex-fiancée dies. The very first time that it happened, I was devastated. And then shocked that Dom, and I, had to do it all again. Each day, he tries to change what he does and how he reacts to the events in his life, hoping for a better outcome. And each day he, and I, are destroyed.
How to Save a Life is a unique story, unlike any that I have ever read. Even though it was heartbreaking to witness Mia dying day after day, I wouldn't have missed this one for the world. Liz and Lisa continually create amazing stories that knock my socks off. You definitley need to add this one to your reading list!
