![]() ![]() The camaraderie and banter between the characters at the fire station felt realistic and was humorous and witty. These characters included Cassie’s mother Diana, “The Rookie” (Owen), and the men at the fire station particularly Captain Murphy. The book also features a lovable and endearing cast of major and minor characters who were extremely well-drawn, and who I rooted for. She had courage, heart, and determination, and I was invested in her struggle. She is a strong, independent person who grew and changed throughout the book, in a realistic way. ![]() As a result of guarding her heart, Cassie keeps everyone at arm’s length, and is unprepared for feelings that emerge when she meets Owen, a sweet rookie firefighterĬassie is a fascinating, original, and one of a kind character whose struggles were authentic and relatable. ![]() Without revealing any spoilers, Cassie has closed off her emotions, equating feeling vulnerable with weakness. Cassie has built her life based on order, routine, control, and no drama. The story is told entirely from Cassie’s perspective as she uproots her life, moving to a small Massachusetts town to live with her mother, and begin a new job at a fire station. Ever since reading and loving How to Walk Away, I have been eagerly awaiting Katherine Center’s newest book, and it was definitely worth the wait! I savored every second of this honestly written love story, which was so much more than a light-hearted romantic comedy. Things You Save In A Fire is one of my favorite books of the year. ![]()
