I really loved everything about Tully and Jimmy's story. The beginning was very interesting and the end was great, heartfelt and such a sweet depiction of a lifelong friendship.
But I must say all the Manchester trip stuff, the other friends and all the 80s music references kind of lost me there for a sec. Also, how Jimmy hinted, when older, that he had a period of not being as connected with Tully, but then not exploring futher, left me feeling like i was missing something. 
Overall, a worth read though. One I would recommend.
