I had a tough time with this story: it revolves around several people going through some very hard times. One of them is a teenager who turns to cutting in an effort to deal with her pain. Things are not much better for the adults in the story, who are all dealing with their own pain. The story lines are intertwined, so the suffering takes place simultaneously and there is very little relief. The personal journeys that each takes are moving and kept me involved but it was painful being along for their rides.

Wow, what a great emotional read. Laughed and cried. Hits too close to home if you've recently lost someone special.
Firefly Lane is one of my favorite books of all time but Fly Away not so much. It's not what I expected. It didn't grab my attention and therefore I skimmed the book and read the last chapter. I'm disappointed. Having said that, I still love Kristin! I've enjoyed almost all of her books. She's one of my favorite authors and I will continue to be a fan:)
I enjoyed learning about tullys mom but this book just did not need a sequel

Nobody weaves a story like Kirsten Hannah. I fell in love, once again, with the characters in this sequel to Firefly Lane. I did not want the story to end because the characters are so real to me.
