Not my favorite Kristin Hannah but I did end up enjoying this story of best friends Tully and Kate over 30 years of friendship. The writing felt basic for me, but since it's pretty early in Kristin Hannah's career it makes sense. The last section is gutting and I was hooked for the last 80 pages!

This book. It is between a 4 and a 4.5. I think this was a wonderful depiction of life, of grief, of love and of family and friends.
The characters were very realistic - meaning quite stupid and annoying from time to time.
It is a book that really makes you think about life, how important relationships are, dreams and wants, and how fragile it all is.
The last 30 pages I was sobbing my eyes out... and I definitely think the last 100 or 150 pages were the strongest in the book.
I will be reading the second book, but I need some time to recover from this first...
