Lisa and Liz are back in action everybody! Sound the alarm because whenever these two come back in town, nobody knows what to expect. Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke are my favorite duo writers and they always know how to entertain us. When I finally met them in person last summer during their book tour for their 2019 release The Two Lila Bennetts, they told me that their 2020 release would be vastly different than what I’d ever expect from them.

How to Save a Life is being called a romantic suspense with a Groundhog’s Day twist. I can guarantee that this is indeed a valid way to describe this book. I was hesitant to pick up a book that is normally out of my comfort zone, because I tend to be stricter with my reviews, but honestly, this book was so refreshingly different. I read this book in one sitting and I loved the way that the story was mapped out for the readers. I don't think there was one character I disliked. In fact, I think I was rooting for all of them. If you liked Rebecca Serle's In Five Years, you'll love How to Save a Life .

Flawless and irresistible, profoundly moving and endlessly emotional. How To Save A Life is a truly unique and beautiful reimagining of Groundhog Day, asking if life and death are preordained, if our destiny is predetermined, and if some lives are meant to be saved.

Dom is paralyzed with regret over breaking up with his girlfriend, Mia, ten years ago. When she unexpectedly appears back in his life, only to die that very same night, he becomes caught in a Groundhog Day-like time loop in which he tries desperately to save her life over and over again, only to fail each time. This crazy time loop turns his life upside down, but teaches him important lessons about life: to look beyond yourself, to live life to the fullest, to love unselfishly. But in the end, will Dom be able to save Mia?

I loved this book and had all the feels throughout. Poignant, bittersweet and yet ultimately uplifting, I found myself re-reading certain passages again just so I could fully absorb their beauty.

Thank you so much to Netgalley for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Have you ever wanted to relive one day over and over again? Well for Dom, he gets the unlucky privilege of reliving the worst day of his life over with it ending before he’s given a proper second chance with the one that got away.
.
At the beginning, I couldn’t get into the story or Dom as the lead. I found him to be so selfish and to have a hero complex for the first half of the book. He seemed very superficial and the writing for his character made it seem really dry as if there wasn’t a lot of emotion that was put into him. But for the second half of the book, he had a vulnerability that made him seemed more sincere and relatable. There were times I’d sympathize with him and there were times he drove me nuts, but at least I was feeling something rather than nothing.
.
There were a lot of times I was reading this story and going through the motions of reading for the sake of reading and finishing the story. But then there were a lot of times I enjoyed reading the journey Dom went on and the character development he experienced. There was something intriguing about reliving the same day over again and what you might discover about yourself along the the way. Each day he lived over again, he was able to discover a new way to look at life and a new way to view his own struggles.
.
Overall premise of the book was really intriguing and I wanted to see how it would end. Other parts were not as exciting and I found myself wanting more from the story or more from Dom. I did enjoy how it ended and the over premise of discovering how one would deal with regrets and cope with the randomness of life. It gave me a lot to think about when it comes to my own life. I feel like this book is one most people will be drawn to and probably get a different feel for the story than I did.

Loved it!!! Liz and Lisa outdid themselves with this one! I loved Dom my new book boyfriend and Mia was amazing too! This was definitely a change from their domestic thrillers to back to their original roots and I loved it! Awesome beach read!!

Another winner from Liz and Lisa! My heart was pounding through the entire book. Dom keeps reliving the same Thursday over and over. Every time he woke up on Thursday again, I thought “this is the day he figures it all out!” I had no idea where the story would end. It broke my heart but also gave me hope with second chances and new beginnings. This just might be my favorite book from these authors!

Can we change fate? Dom keeps reliving the same day over and over, trying to change the outcome, but is that even possible? Is our destiny already predetermined? This book kept me turning the pages. I needed to know the answers to these questions. This book will make you feel such a wide range of emotions, fear, helplessness, hope and love. Dom and Mia are the two main characters and you will come to know them intimately. They are well developed and likable. The secondary characters are just as well crafted. The flow of this story is impeccable. You would think it would be repetitive but it's not. I hung on every word. Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke have crafted a story that will stay with you. They are very gifted storytellers. The suspense is there as you hope that Dom can save a life, but is it Mia he is supposed to save, or himself. A very thought provoking book that will keep you up at night. Very well done. I highly recommend this book!

Another hit by Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke. Poor Dom has to relive the same day over and over as he rekindles with his ex-fiancée 10 years after a broken engagement. The problem, no one believes Dom as he tries to save Mia, multiple times, always with the same result.

I felt for Dom as he kept reliving the devastating day. Definitely recommend, another 5 star hit by the authors.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy.

Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke are the Queens of mystical realism. Their novels have a way of allowing the author to suspend belief and live in a world of hope for a little while.

This novel,one that brings the authors away from suspense (a genre that they are also gifted at writing) and back to the love and hope stories they so easily craft

The story of Mia and Dom is sweet and hopeful but also heartbreaking and sad


I loved it and can’t wait to share with others.
