Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center

inspiring fast-paced

3.0

This definitely qualifies as a feel good book. I wouldn't say there is anything spectacular about it, but it doesn't leave you hanging, makes you warm and fuzzy at the end, so it was good. Cassie, an extremely competant firefighter, has to move across the country, supposedly to help her mother recover from an eye surgery, but the real reason she goes is because a man from her past who hurt her caused her to lash out and put her job at risk. Romance, feminism, gender roles and how to change a staunch Boston Fire Department into gender equality, this definitely felt like a New Englander book. It is about forgiveness mostly, and the epilogue wraps up all plot points, which is very satisfying.
