![]() I was a bit of a tomboy growing up, forever trying (and spectacularly failing) to impress the boys with my (non-existent) athletic skills. There’s a lot of hard work, but some of the events that unfold are hilariously funny. There’s a lot of firehouse banter, jokes, camaraderie, and training, which was all thoroughly entertaining, especially learning the ins and outs of what it takes to be a firefighter. The story follows main character Cassie to a new fire station when she moves to take care of her ailing, estranged mother. I loved every single second of this book. But, a Zumba buddy recommended Things You Save in a Fire to me, and she loaned me her copy of the book, so I figured I’d give it a whirl. ![]() Although I’ve watched parts of Backdraft and all of Ladder 49, I shy away from anything involving firefighters because I just can’t handle the emotional devstation that follows most of their storylines. My original interest in this book wasn’t huge. ![]() I’m just going to jump right into it: Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center is one of the best books I’ve read all year. ![]()
