I watched the show years ago and liked it, but I’m so glad I read the book. Wow. I don’t really know what to say about this book but as a daughter who lost her own mother to breast cancer as a teen, this book resonated. And also, as a woman, and a “Kate” especially, her  insecurities and fear of not being or doing enough felt so close to home. I am ready to tear into Fly Away immediately! I borrowed this from the library but I need to buy a copy so I can read it again, I can tell this is going to be one I want to revisit. It reminds me of another perennial favorite of mine, Summer Sisters by Judy Blume. I guess I’ve always loved stories about the complicated and beautiful friendships between women.
