A great read and extremely realistic characters, my honest reason for this not being a 5 star read is simply because sometimes the characters’ s choices made me so angry it was hard to remember it’s only fiction! 
Have tissues ready as the last 50 pages or so made me cry a ton. Another great Kristin Hannah read and I definitely plan to read the sequel.

DNF. I wish Goodreads had this option. Made it to page 82. It’s not that this is a bad book, but it just isn’t doing it for me. I haven’t dnf’d a book in forever. I did not read the trigger warnings prior to starting this book either, but would recommend that. This would probably be a good rainy day read for the right person.

Watch the Bette Midler movie Beaches instead. You get a similar story and fantastic songs as a payoff.
