Another Kristin Hannah novel that moved me to tears and had my heart aching for the characters. The ending felt extremely rushed but still overall enjoyed this one.

This was not my favorite Kristin Hannah book that I've read, but it was a solid "pretty okay". I really loved the story of the 3 friends far more than I enjoyed the added narrative of the mom. I really did not like or empathize with her character until the last 30 pages. The way she was set up in the first half of the book just did not bode well for me to relate or make her choices after tragedy make sense. The end was also wrapped up incredibly quickly for me.

I truly can’t decided if this is a 3 or 4 star read for me. I’m going to leave it at 3 bc I don’t think I’d recommend it when Hannah has other novels I love. I was entertaining by part one. It’s an easy read with many complicated relationships. Part two was really underwhelming and overly descriptive. It was straight forward and could have ended 80 pages shorter. Overall I enjoyed it bc I loved the kids.

Gripping. Hopeful. Healing. 
This was yet another incredible book by Kristin Hannah. 

Centred around grief, healing, love and family this book is on the heavier side and will start you off will a full happy heart, evoke emotion from you, break your heart and mend it back together. 

Lexie is a character you won’t forget; she’s strong, she’s smart, she thinks of others first, always. Lexie exudes responsibility, maturity and knowing right and wrong when facing her fate in the aftermath of a deadly car crash. 

Lexie knows that no amount of time served will ever make up for the choice she made on Night Road, and she will forever have to remember her role in it. She not only lost her best friend, but her love and her second family and more. Lexie doesn’t intend to stay and cause the Farraways anymore turmoil or grief, but then she sees her daughter who happens to remind Lexie or a younger version of herself… lost, friendless and sad. That moment changes everything, but it’ll be up to the Farraways if Lexie will ever be able to see her daughter. 

Kristin Hannah does an amazing job of transporting you right into the story as this book unfolds. The writing is beautiful and gripping, the storyline will pull at your heart strings.
