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.

Rarely do books move me to tears. I was choked up for the last 100 pages or so.

Aaack! Why do we keep handing our hearts over to Kristin Hannah for the breaking? 
 I'm probably late to the Firefly Lane world. I haven't watched the Netflix version so went in a bit blind and so glad I did.
 I'm sure no one needs a summary, other than this is the story of "TullyandKate" spanning a thirty-year friendship. 
 From their meeting as teens in the 70s, through to their adult lives on very different paths, readers are taken from heartwarming to heartbreaking and back again.
 It's a story for anyone who has ever experienced love, loss, the difficult dynamics between friends, mothers and daughters, and one's self against the world's expectations.
 Recommended!
