I read my first Sara Zarr novel, Roomies, just a few weeks ago -- but after finishing How To Save a Life, I look forward to reading many more! This emotional novel about love and loss, loneliness and connection, is engaging and quick-paced, with lots of heart and some humor too. I found the emotional journeys of the two main characters quite moving, and also very real and believable. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys quality, contemporary young adult fiction.
