What a fucking roller coaster ride. I laughed and I wept and did everything in between. Tully & Kate are lovable and detestable at the same time, which is to say they are human. The story arc is so pleasant. The subtle nods to different music was a nice bonus for me as a music lover. The end is devastating, though, so prepare with loads of tissues.

I was quite disappointed after watching the tv show. Their friendship is not near as nice and I don’t even truly understand how they are friends in the book. They don’t communicate and hold resentment over each other constantly. I liked the ending though, the last 50 pages truly showed the best in their relationship and if the whole book were like that I would be OBSESSED with this book.

This was kind of a weird one. On the one hand, it deals with some emotionally heavy topics, but on the other hand, the whole vibe feels very sitcomy. The conversations between characters felt too snappy, like they would never happen naturally. It reminded me a little of Gilmore Girls, in that I was somewhat taken out of the story by how idyllic it was, but I was equally ready to just go along for the ride. It felt repetitive at times, especially their fights, but I suppose that's to be expected in a friendship spanning decades. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out in the show.

Heart wrenching story about the lives of two best friends. Watch them live their lives from their teen years to middle aged adulthood.
Such a touching & heartwarming relationship. Expresses the power of friendship.

Stayed up to 4 am to finish this book. Couldn’t put it down. A few annoying things, and really disliked Tully so many times, but such a beautiful book. Going to sleep now with a stuffy nose from all the crying.
