This is a coming of age story about two best friends spanning from the 70s into the early millennium.
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.
TW: rape, terminal illness, critical injury, some usage of the f word
