Six Degrees of Separation - How to Save a Life

Six Degrees of Separation is hosted by Kate at booksaremyfavoriteandbest. A book is selected each month as the starting point for us to link to six other books. I go a bit rouge by selecting my own book from the previous months’ Five Star Friday, but still maintain the spirit of the meme.

This Month's Book

Published by Pocket Star on April 25, 2016

Goodreads

Groundhog Day meets Grey’s Anatomy in this heartfelt novella with a hint of magic from the internationally bestselling author of The Sweetness of Forgetting and The Life Intended, in which a woman with only a short time to live discovers she can repeat the same day over and over until her life feels complete.

When a pediatric oncology nurse receives a devastating prognosis—she has just weeks left to live—she finds unexpected comfort from a patient. Her young friend shares a life- and death-changing secret: it is possible to live the same day over and over again until she’s experienced a truly full life. Thus begins a heartbreaking and joyful journey of love, friendship, and self-discovery, as the brave nurse only truly learns how to live in the face of death. Kristin Harmel, whose work has been called “immersive and evocative” (Publishers Weekly), “absorbing…well-paced and warmhearted” (Kirkus Reviews), and “absolutely enthralling” (Fresh Fiction), infuses her poignant, uplifting novella with a dash of magic and a hefty dose of heart.

How to Save a Life

This was a super emotional story where the main character relives the same day until she is ready to move on. I found the use of the time-loop brilliant in this book. 

In a Holidaze

This was also a time-loop book though the main character was reliving her whole vacation, and it was so delightful! This story was packed with all sorts of festive events which filled me with lots of holiday spirit.  [review]

The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year

This was a little different from the previous holiday book. Here, the festivities were marked with mystery and a kidnapping.  I had a rollicking good time with these two authors as they tried to solve the mystery and save their idol. [review]

The Takedown

Which takes me to another holiday story with a bit of mystery and danger. This time, an undercover CIA agent is tasked with taking down her sister's criminal fiancé and ends up falling for his bodyguard. [review]

The Bodyguard

A wonderful story also involving a bodyguard romance where the one needing protection was a Hollywood heartthrob. I loved the ranch setting and the way the main character was embraced by her assignment's family. [review]

The Christmas You Found Me

This fun and heartwarming tale also took place on a ranch. The story started with a husband-for-hire advertisement and led to a beautiful single dad romance. [review]

Swift and Saddled 

This book brought me back to a ranch setting and featured a single dad romance in a world I would return to again and again. [review]
