Do you ever wonder, like I do, what attracts you to a particular book? Is it the cover at first sight? The title or synopsis? Perhaps the genre? I'm a visual person, so for me, it's the cover that draws me in most often, and this one piqued my curiosity. I wanted to know how the woman sitting on the bench fit into this story.
Also, I was in the mood for a shorter read, and this was a novella at 199 pages and 5H 36M. Perfect!
Think: Groundhog Day in a Pediatric Oncology Ward! I agree, it's an odd combination, but this book is much more than that. The characters, the circumstances that bring them together over and over again, as the story plays out, all work.
My one niggle is that it feels more YA than Adult Fiction, but who cares, right? It's well-written, has a great mix of characters, and enough Magical Realism to warm your heart. And, you will discover the reason why the woman is sitting on the bench.
How to Save a Life is an uplifting and comforting novella about hope as a source of strength, self-discovery against the odds, and the power of human connection.
Last question: Can a story be both heartbreaking and heartwarming? Absolutely!

I don’t normally read books about characters who know they are dying. However, I love Kristin Harmel's writing and I knew she’d handle the topic in a sensitive and beautiful way. She exceeded this expectation. Not only does the story have a Groundhog Day feel (and I loved that movie, so definitely a bonus), but it also tackles a heavy issue while talking about the important things in life. The dialogue and interactions between characters was perfect and description was not needed as I felt like I was right there in the story, visualizing everything as it was happening. I got teary-eyed a few times and also found myself smiling. And just when I thought I knew what was coming, she pulled a game changer. I only wish this story were longer so I could spend more time with these characters. Just be sure to have a suspension of disbelief (and some tissues) while reading it.

4 Life Saving Stars
This is my first Kristin Harmel read. I wouldn’t call this book super romance, but a sweet melt your heart contemporary read I enjoyed greatly. When you finish reading How to Save a Life you will question life choices and want to live your life to the fullest. It’s a harm-warming story about second chances, saving lives and making a lasting impression. You will be left speechless.
What would you do if you knew you were sick and you could re-do your day?
Jill is a nurse and she just found out she is dying. It’s a sobering thought and I was instantly interested in the book. She’s pretty clinical and although she does cry, she kind of reflects on her life and she still has so many more things she wants to do.
1.) To fall in love
2.) To have children
3.) To reconcile with her father
How can Jill do what she wants to do with only months to live? Logan, a ten year old boy, she treats, has the answer to her question. Jill soon realizes she can re-do her days and Logan helps her with it since he’s been doing it for three years. The plot of the book was different and I really enjoyed it. I really liked Jill. I liked how she was smart about her situation and I loved how kind her heart was. I love the relationship she has with Logan and the little boy makes her really see her life.
Jill does have a love interest and meets Jamie every day, but every time she re-does her day everyone around her, except for Logan and two other patients reset and forget everything happens. Jamie and Jill’s relationship is innocent and harmless, but it’s not a focal point of the book and it’s sprinkled throughout the read, so it’s kind of a treat when we get to read about Jamie. I really liked Jill’s love interest and Jamie is really cute.
Overall, I really like the message How to Save a Life conveys and you wonder throughout the read how it all ends. Well, you will just have to read and find out. It’s a great book with a great concept and a great message.

A beautiful short story (just 5.5 hours long) that was poignant, raw, and full of emotion. Kristin Harmel has a way of handling sensitive topics with grace and does just that in this novella. I enjoyed the magic realism element to the story as the protagonist was living on a time loop in the days leading up to her death. It was during this time where she got to look at her life in a new perspective and accomplish what she wanted to do knowing the end was near. The audiobook made for easy listening and was extremely well done.

4 - "This was worth every minute." Stars!
Sometimes a book comes along, that you know when you read it, you are going to end up a snotty whimpering mess. How to Save a Life is definitely in that category for me. And although it had me sobbing into a tissue while reading the latter part of it and for a little while after finishing, it is the kind of book that also leaves to with a good feeling inside as well.
Kristin Harmel is a new author to me, the blurb was what immediately grabbed me, as Jills’ situation is one that no-one ever wants to find themselves in, and its one of those questions that no-one ever wants to really answer - What would you do when you if given a short amount of time to live?
One day more…
There are so many things Jill could have done, I loved that the main role of her life was as a carer to often terminally sick children in that she was a Oncology nurse at Atlanta Children’s Hospital, this is a woman who is quite intimately acquainted with death, so when her own is diagnosed and the number of days she has left are confirmed as few her immediate focus is still on the children that she cares for on a day-to-day basis.
"Time is never a guarantee."
But Logan and a few other children on her floor are doing more than just marking the days until their clock runs down, and with the help of a tree, they show her that you can make right and repair what you thought was broken in your life, before you say your final goodbyes.
"True love only takes a moment. And then your heart belongs to someone else forever."
I like that the love aspect in the book wasn’t the main focus, but Jill’s budding relationship with Jamie as she understood what the time she was given was for did add another layer to the emotional roller-coaster that you are on as a reader. But I think it was her relationship with Logan, the terminally ill, orphan that really grabbed my heart and squeezed hard.
"Some things just are. Some things you just have to believe in."
I suppose some people would think reading about someone who is dying would be depressing, but for me the book wasn’t massively about that until the last few chapters, it was more about Jill having the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of a woman whose clock is counting down, and what she chose to do with those precious minutes she had left.
My only niggle, was the end was a little easy-way-out in its direction, and I don’t mean Jill’s dying, you know that is going to happen anyway, it was the resolution of certain other aspects of the story. One thing that I did like was Logan’s ending, I sort of hope that the author has a story for him, because dead, isn’t always the end.
I look forward to reading more from this author in the future, that’s for sure!

ספר ממש חמוד, למרות שקצת בנאלי. קריאה נעימה שעושה טוב בלב.

Beautiful storytelling... so many feels... touched me in a very personal way. I'm going to be thinking about this book for a while. I love this author and the way she conveys life wisdom through her stories. I love the way she conveyed the message that Love is the most important thing we leave behind and also the only thing we take with us. And, she did it in a very magical way that was just so touching. I want to go out right now and hug a tree and spread some love!
I love this author... just stinking love her...
If you love books that are full of inspirational life wisdom and don't mind shedding a few tears then this is one you will want to put onto your to-read pile.

I am now a HUGE Kristin fan. Her writing is brilliant, her story just so very different from others I've read. I had this preordered and dove in immediately (thank you spring break)!!! I was a little nervous going by the synopsis, but I'm so glad I read this beautiful story.
I love when a books reminds me of all the important aspects of life.
Love with your whole heart. Cherish every moment. Treat each day as if it were your last. Always tell your loved ones how much you love them and PROVE it. Actions speak louder than words. If you want something, go for it. Don't wait till tomorrow, it's never a guarantee.
Kristin made a novella feel like a novel. Be sure to grab this one, what a fantastic story!!!

This was terrible. A magical tree that grants wishes for additional days of life to terminally ill cancer patients but the tree talks to them using the spirit of a young girl who died of a heart issue six years ago. Then a nurse falls in love with the dad of the young girl who died but he forgets her every night & she has to re-earn his love. Then it ends with them all dying together in a car accident so they’re never separated. What did I just read?!? This book was *awful*.

A sappy parable
This simplistic story is about living life to the fullest since you don’t know how much time is left. There are decent lessons but the story itself isn’t very good

Do you know the feeling your get when you read a book and know you’re going to remember it for the rest of your life? That’s how I feel about How To Save a Life. While the subject matter is emotional, the writing is beautiful and the story is magical. I am a sensitive reader and shy away from books I feel will be depressing. Let me assure you this is an uplifting read and one I encourage readers to consider.
I enjoy reading Kristin Harmel’s books as she does a wonderful job of taking life challenges and turning them into something positive and moving. How to Save a Life takes a pediatric oncology nurse who learns of her inoperable brain tumour. She learns from her young patients with terminal illnesses of their own about the magic of the tree in the hospital’s lobby which provides them with the ability to repeat the current day over and over.
The selflessness of this nurse facing her impending death is remarkable. She takes it upon herself to improve the last days of her terminal patients and begins examining all she would like to accomplish in her remaining days. There is clear messaging here about living in the moment and making every day count.
I listened to the audiobook version of this book which was narrated by Christina Sivrich. Her performance was excellent – I enjoyed the sweet and compassionate way she delivered each word. The audiobook was published recently, while the original novella was published in 2016. I would recommend the audiobook version of this book to those that enjoy this format.
I would like to add that on the day I am writing this (January 4) the author released on social media her own cancer diagnosis and need for chemotherapy. In addition to being a successful author, she is a co-host of the Youtube and Facebook live weekly production of Friends & Fiction. Please join me in wishing her a full and speedy recovery.

Este libro lo leí en ingles, tiene un ingles muy sencillo y fluido, trata acerca de una enfermera a la que le diagnostican una enfermedad terminal, y donde se le concede la oportunidad de revivir un mismo día varias veces, la premisa me gustó, todo lo que pasa y lo que decide hacer en esas oportunidades que tiene, y como se va desenvolviendo todo, el final no lo vi venir en ningún momento, así que fue una buena lectura la verdad.

Although only 5 hours long, this story is packed with emotion, and it has all the components of a full length book. It was sweet yet devastating. Time loop plot lines don’t always work for me, but this one did.

Kristin Harmel is one of my favorite authors & I’ve been wanting to read more of her books. This was such a heartbreaking yet heartwarming story! The ending was so unexpected-sad, but happy at the same time! Such a good book. I definitely recommend it!

Jill: "But I still have things I want to do."
Logan (softly): "I think everyone feels that way when they die, Jill. But think of all the extra time we had, knowing it was the end. We lived differently because of it."
Jill: "But—" (trailing off when she realizes he's right).

I very rarely dislike a book enough to DNF, especially early on, and I also very seldom write reviews. but it was already irredeemable at 5%. There is ALREADY a completely insufferable, contrived attempt at a meet cute, a young cancer patient who also happens to be in foster care who dispenses age inappropriate wisdom and is presented as possibly also telepathic or psychic, and the protagonist has " let out a breath she didn't know she was holding" DNF.

I normally don’t like novellas bc the character development is lacking for me. I love her writing and def felt connected to all the characters despite it being on the shorter side.
May 11, 2022
This short story is an amazing story. Please read it as it might even change your life. Remember it when times are tough. Go back to it as often as you need to. I guess this is one of the reasons that reading is so important to us all.

Before all of the beautiful historical fictions novels we have come to love by Kristin Harmel came HOW TO SAFE A LIFE.
Groundhog Day meets Grey’s Anatomy in this heartfelt novella with a hint of magic about a woman with only a short time to live discovers she can repeat the same day over and over until her life feels complete.
When a pediatric oncology nurse receives a devastating prognosis—she has just weeks left to live—she finds unexpected comfort from a patient. Her young friend shares a life- and death-changing secret: it is possible to live the same day over and over again until she’s experienced a truly full life. Thus begins a heartbreaking and joyful journey of love, friendship, and self-discovery, as the brave nurse only truly learns how to live in the face of death.
The takeaway from this story is that “love is the answer to everything”
“These lines on my face, they mean that I have laughed and cried and lived. These arms of mine aren’t strong as they used to be but they are still strong enough to hold onto the woman I love”.

“Love is selfless, it’s true. And it’s possible to love when that love is unrequited. But the strongest love in the universe is the kind that becomes part of a cycle. Loving and being loved in return, that’s one of life’s greatest gifts.”
