This book. It is between a 4 and a 4.5. I think this was a wonderful depiction of life, of grief, of love and of family and friends.
The characters were very realistic - meaning quite stupid and annoying from time to time.
It is a book that really makes you think about life, how important relationships are, dreams and wants, and how fragile it all is.
The last 30 pages I was sobbing my eyes out... and I definitely think the last 100 or 150 pages were the strongest in the book.
I will be reading the second book, but I need some time to recover from this first...

Kristin Hannah’s book are always heart wrenchingly sad but beautiful and inspiring. It’s a good kind of cry. I relate to Katie in so many ways and I just wish I had a friend like Tully!

A lot of sweet moments, a lot of predictable cheese. I got really annoyed with Kate being so whiny at times. At other times, I cringed at the awful, forced, awkward, too-detailed dialogue, the cliche descriptions to make sure we know the decade or situation, and the characters just being weak and one-dimensional, overall. The book could have been much shorter. Not a terrible read after reading a bunch of nonfiction, though.

I had no idea what to expect going into reading this book but it is a brilliant story, wonderful written and I’d urge you to read it too.
