This is my 5th Kristin Hannah novel - and probably near the top of my list. Yes - we can all agree that Hannah really draws out the dramatic in her story telling - but that's where she excels. There is in a emotional current that runs through her novels that is incredibly consistent. She is excellent and writing characters you either love or hate, or both and this is exactly how I felt about Tully and Kate.
Tully with her narcissistic, generational trauma and Kate with her desire to keep everyone around her happy. I wanted to scream at Kate to SPEAK up while simultaneously holding my hand over Tully's mouth.
My only complaint is that I feel like Hannah leaves a lot on the table - but maybe that will be answered in the follow up to this book.

Aaack! Why do we keep handing our hearts over to Kristin Hannah for the breaking?
I'm probably late to the Firefly Lane world. I haven't watched the Netflix version so went in a bit blind and so glad I did.
I'm sure no one needs a summary, other than this is the story of "TullyandKate" spanning a thirty-year friendship.
From their meeting as teens in the 70s, through to their adult lives on very different paths, readers are taken from heartwarming to heartbreaking and back again.
It's a story for anyone who has ever experienced love, loss, the difficult dynamics between friends, mothers and daughters, and one's self against the world's expectations.
Recommended!
