devastating and beautiful, female friendships really are amazing

at times i really disliked all of the characters, but i think that's what made them so real, they're flawed (in an obvious and dramatised way!)

I adored this story, The wholesome friendship, the Washington setting (I freaked when Vashon came up on the page <3), and the contrast of Tully’s and Kate’s life ambitions. However, both characters also ticked me off. Tully was so egotistical and selfish, and Kate constantly overloading herself unnecessarily and never attended to her own wellbeing! And Marah was just about the most rotten daughter I’ve ever read. I know, all part of the story, but god did it drive me crazy. Do not read this story if you hate sad endings (books rarely make me cry - this one did), but otherwise I highly recommend!
