Come for the nostalgia tour, stay for the tears. Lifelong friendships, family, abandonment and steadfast commitment, love, dreams, and loss. 

You get the extra 0.5 because you made me cry.

I didn't trust Tully the entire time.  Also Kristen Hannah clearly had some personal feelings about wəəd.  They just kept bringing up that she smokes so much pot and that's what she's addicted to pot. That's a very ignorant mindset.  Wēēd doesn't make you act like Cloud. Hard drůgs like měth and hęrōịn do but not wẹėd.  I really expected Johnny to sleep with Tully and that be why they fellout. I do not understand how Tully rationalized ambushing her on the show but that was extremely selfish.

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.
