I actually had no idea that Firefly Lane had a follow up! It was really sad to see what happens with these characters. The trauma of the death from the first book feels so real and realistic. But it’s also so hard to see these characters really just go through these intense things. I kind of struggled to get through it because of that.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I had low expectations since the Great alone did not resonate with me, but even without reading firefly lane, I thoroughly enjoyed the writing and the characters. It’s unrealistic in its depiction of forgiveness but hey… it was nice to live in a world where mothers and daughters could heal so quickly.
