Jill's life lost all meaning when her dad died. Friends, boyfriend, college nothing matters any more. Then her mom drops a bombshell: she's going to adopt a baby. Mandy is desperate for her life to change. Seventeen, pregnant and leaving home, she is sure of only one thing her baby must never have a life like hers, whatever it takes. As their worlds change around them, Jill and Mandy must learn both how to hold on and how to let go, finding that nothing is as easy - or as difficult - as it seems. Heart-achingly beautiful, moving and funny, How to Save a Life has been named a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2011, a School Library Journal Best Book of 2011 and an American Library Assocation 2012 Top Ten Best Fiction for Young Adults. "A rich tapestry of love and survival that will resonate with even the most cynical readers." - Booklist

This is a fast paced story told in two perspectives. It deals with grief and is told beautifully

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I thought this book was a good exploration on grief told from a teen perspective. The story moved pretty quickly and is told from alternating views - a girl who lost her father recently and another who‘s baby will be adopted by the first girl‘s mother. It wrapped up a little too nicely for me, but I‘m not used to reading YA so that might be expected. I did enjoy the read. This was a #myTBR recommendation. #getTBR

I don't even remember why I got this book. It's pretty different from what I normally gravitate towards, but I ended up really enjoying it. #bookstagram #ilovebooks #booklover

Really liked this book. Zarr is great at writing teens who seem real--they might make bad decisions and sometimes handle their emotions badly, jus like real kids!

CoffeeCatsBooks I always recommend her 1st book to reluctant readers. (edited) 7y
