What a fucking roller coaster ride. I laughed and I wept and did everything in between. Tully & Kate are lovable and detestable at the same time, which is to say they are human. The story arc is so pleasant. The subtle nods to different music was a nice bonus for me as a music lover. The end is devastating, though, so prepare with loads of tissues.

I was quite disappointed after watching the tv show. Their friendship is not near as nice and I don’t even truly understand how they are friends in the book. They don’t communicate and hold resentment over each other constantly. I liked the ending though, the last 50 pages truly showed the best in their relationship and if the whole book were like that I would be OBSESSED with this book.

Heart wrenching story about the lives of two best friends. Watch them live their lives from their teen years to middle aged adulthood. 
Such a touching & heartwarming relationship. Expresses the power of friendship.

I really enjoyed the writing and appreciated that I was able to read about two characters without alternating chapters and without feeling choppy. I didn't think halfway through I was going to love it, but it was such a good book and heartbreaking at the same time. This is a book and characters that I will continue to think about. I will say I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a light and happy read.
