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.

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!)

I adored this story, The wholesome friendship, the Washington setting (I freaked when Vashon came up on the page <3), and the contrast of Tully’s and Kate’s life ambitions. However, both characters also ticked me off. Tully was so egotistical and selfish, and Kate constantly overloading herself unnecessarily and never attended to her own wellbeing! And Marah was just about the most rotten daughter I’ve ever read. I know, all part of the story, but god did it drive me crazy. Do not read this story if you hate sad endings (books rarely make me cry - this one did), but otherwise I highly recommend!

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.
