What a fucking roller coaster ride. I laughed and I wept and did everything in between. Tully & Kate are lovable and detestable at the same time, which is to say they are human. The story arc is so pleasant. The subtle nods to different music was a nice bonus for me as a music lover. The end is devastating, though, so prepare with loads of tissues.

Heart wrenching story about the lives of two best friends. Watch them live their lives from their teen years to middle aged adulthood. 
Such a touching & heartwarming relationship. Expresses the power of friendship.

I loved following Katie and Tully’s friendship throughout the years. Lots of important lessons throughout the entire book. Started off great and lost a little momentum in the middle before picking up near the end. I am curious to see where the second book goes.

Rarely do books move me to tears. I was choked up for the last 100 pages or so.
