Teenage years are weird and difficult, I can’t imagine what it was like for Tilly. She had so many traumatic events happen to her before she turned 18. I loved her drive and how she just wanted to make a name for herself and be loved by everyone, since her mother couldn’t (which is so sad, but so relatable for so MANY people). The one thing I hated about Tilly was that she was so arrogant and blinded by her own drive.
The climax of this book felt like it was always going to come sooner , rather than so late in the novel. Every time that they drifted apart, because of life and how life changed for them both so differently, I felt like that was going to be the breaking point that broke their friendship up. But the actual event was JAW DROPPING. I’ll be the first to admit, I hated Tilly after the event, but god the way that she made up with Katie after ykw was so sweet and made me bawl.
I recommend this to any and everyone. I have friends who don’t read whatsoever and they love this book. This is definitely a wonderful read.

I’ve read one other Kristin Hannah book, The Four Winds. The pacing was similar, long and tedious at first, with enough to keep you interested but definitely able to put it down. But then the last quarter of the book is emotional as all get out and impossible to quit.

Tully is the beautiful, ambitious, career driven, outspoken one and Kate is the understated, self conscious, motherly one. Each of them looks at the other’s life with envy of the things they don’t have. For Tully, that’s a family who loves her unconditionally. And Kate wishes for Tully’s boundless freedom.
TullyandKate pull each other through everything from boys and fashion to heartbreak and sickness.
I have always been a fan of Kristin Hannah’s writing and this was certainly no different. I cried my way through this book! Just when I thought I had been wrecked for the last time something else happened.
I loved the characters- I related to Kate so much! She is just a girl trying to stay afloat.
