✅ REVIEW

“That’s the thing I always love best about the human race: How we pick ourselves back up over and over and just keep on going.” 

A heartwarming story starring a strong and audacious female firefighter.

I picked up this book because I loved How to Walk Away from the same author. Both books have the main character facing challenging situations that are explored with humor, charming characters, and a touch of romance.

Overall, I liked it, I was not as captivated by the novel as I was when I read How to Walk Away but it is definitely an enjoyable read I recommend to all.

✅ PUBLISHER’S DESCRIPTION

“From the New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk Away comes a stunning new novel about family, hope, and learning to love against all odds. 

Cassie Hanwell was born for emergencies. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she’s seen her fair share of them, and she’s excellent at dealing with other people’s tragedies. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to uproot her life and move to Boston, it’s an emergency of a kind Cassie never anticipated.

The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie’s old job as it could possibly be. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren’t exactly thrilled to have a “lady” on the crew, even one as competent and smart as Cassie. Except for the handsome rookie, who doesn’t seem to mind having Cassie around. But she can’t think about that. Because she doesn’t fall in love. And because of the advice her old captain gave her: don’t date firefighters. Cassie can feel her resolve slipping…but will she jeopardize her place in a career where she’s worked so hard to be taken seriously?

Katherine Center’s Things You Save in a Fire is a heartfelt, affecting novel about life, love, and the true meaning of courage. ”
