This book just hit all of my emotions. It paints a beautiful, fragile, heartbreaking and uplifting portrait of a friendship that spans decades. At times I looked on Tully and Kate's relationship with wonder, but it's also filled with miniature betrayals and truths untold.
But there was a magic to this enduring friendship, and something so comforting in it that it could still make me laugh at the most devastating moments. It felt like these women's divergent paths alienated them and brought them closer at the same time, highlighting how hard it was (and still is) for women to truly 'have it all'.
