You can't have a rainbow, without a little rain... The world has thrown its very worst at Luke recently. So when a stranger narrowly saves him from a fatal accident, it feels like the final straw.
But instead, Luke makes up his mind to live his life to the fullest. He's been given a second chance, and he's going to make it count- and so he starts by saying yes to everything life has to offer.
But when Luke's new resolve is tested, will he return to his old ways? Or can one fateful moment truly save a life?

I'd never heard of the author before but I loved the blurb for the book so had no real expectations. I've lost count of the number of times this beautiful, life-affirming novel reduced me to tears, in sad and happy ways. This reminds me of the book of Keith Stuart ( A Boy Made of Blocks and Wonder). I love both of these books and it was a real treat to read something along a similar vein. I got so caught up in the book, so lost in Luke's life I didn't want the book to end. The author has written other books which I need to read. I'll be in for a treat if How to Save a Life is anything to go by. This is the kind of book that touches you, deeply, even changes something in you. Utterly brilliant.
