devastating and beautiful, female friendships really are amazing

at times i really disliked all of the characters, but i think that's what made them so real, they're flawed (in an obvious and dramatised way!)

this book took me a while to get through and I think its just because it felt too real for me. Winter Garden by KH also had the same problem, it was too real-life sad and I couldn't finish it. This one didn't get extremely sad until the very end. I think it was expertly written and I cared so deeply about the characters, but too much so that it filled me with such dread. The whole Johnny thing, though what a beautiful ending was rough to read about same with the mother daughter fighting. it made me very grateful for my mom. The ending was so tragic it had me in my bikini crying in the sun but it did seem like the right thing to do. A great book, full of love and pain.

I stumbled across this book in a charity shop and recognised the author’s name, for £1 I thought why not give it a try. I’ve see people say it’s one of their least favourite by Kristin Hannah and I loved this so am definitely going to try more of her work.

I’m not one to cry at books, my eyes may well up but I was full on crying at the ending. You become so invested in Kate’s and Tully’s friendship, seeing them meet at a young age, then following their formative years, careers, family, relationships, a ride filled with highs and lows. I really got into their story, the writing style and read this in two days.

I’ve seen there’s also a Netflix series so will give that a watch too ❤️
