This book follows the friendship journey of Tully and Kate. Covering decades of their lives, it shows their path of ups and downs. I wouldn’t consider this an “easy read” as it’s more of an emotional rollercoaster. I don’t really cry reading books but this one definitely made me tear up in the last few chapters with its focus on family and friendship. I’ve never read a Kristin Hannah book, but I will certainly be looking for more of her books!

This book. It is between a 4 and a 4.5. I think this was a wonderful depiction of life, of grief, of love and of family and friends.
The characters were very realistic - meaning quite stupid and annoying from time to time.
It is a book that really makes you think about life, how important relationships are, dreams and wants, and how fragile it all is.
The last 30 pages I was sobbing my eyes out... and I definitely think the last 100 or 150 pages were the strongest in the book.
I will be reading the second book, but I need some time to recover from this first...

I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  In January 2021, I kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children only reading when on holiday, having previously being an avid reader. About love loss and friendship, between two wonderful women Tully and Kate. I loved this one, and enjoy this authors writing style. I'll certainly consider reading more of her books and I notice there is a sequel.
