How to Save a Life

Eva Carter

From Shelf: Books I just had to buy (2022)

Sometimes saving a life is only the start of the story . . . A love story for fans of Miss You by Kate Eberlen and Rosie Walsh's The Man Who Didn't Call.

Joel's heart stops as the rest of the world welcomes the start of a new century. What happens next will change the course of three people's lives forever . . .It's nearly midnight on the eve of the millennium when eighteen-year-old Joel's heart stops. A school friend, Kerry, performs CPR for almost twenty exhausting minutes, ultimately saving Joel's life, while her best friend Tim freezes, unable to help.That moment of life and death changes the course of all three lives over the next two decades: each time Kerry, Joel and Tim believe they've found love, discovered their vocation, or simply moved on, their lives collide again.Structured around the four simple steps involved in CPR, Eva Carter's How to Save a Life is both a love story and an exploration of what it means to be brave - because bravery isn't just about life or death decisions; it's also about how to keep on living afterwards . . .
