Speechless.. Wow...I loved this so much. ❤️ Kristin Hannah give me my heart back. She tore it out, shattered it into a million pieces and then stomped on it. Yet I can't wait to come back for more with Fly Away!
What did I love about this book? Every single thing. I loved how the author captured that time in young adulthood when your BFF is your whole world. Where you do everything together and practically are one. This feeling was so real that I imagined myself as the third wheel with Tully and Kate biking down Firefly Lane way after curfew. You could just smell the air and the grass and it was so real.
Ahhhh...that music! All the songs that the chapters were titled after...I loved it! It was like a trip down memory lane. I found myself humming along as I flipped the pages. Every song I would say to myself, wow I forgot about that one but I loved it! You know how a song can take you back? Yes well it did!
This was my first book by this author. Her writing style literally blew me away. I now understand what all the hype is about. I can't wait to continue on with this story with Fly Away. Thank you Susan for doing a buddy read with me! It was such a great book to chat with someone about.

Kim, wonderful review and I'm glad that you have another book to read...it's nice when there is "more". 😊
Wonderful review, Kim! 💕 I have enjoyed the Kristin Hannah I've read so far, so I think this might have to be the next one on my list!!
You got me at speechless Kim! An awesome review! I would like to read this one at some point and watch the show...I've just got a pile of books to read though!

I think I need to re-read this one! I'm enjoying the Netflix series. Have you seen it? Great review!!
I like this author but haven't read this one. It's good the tv series is bringing new attention to this backlist title. Great review Kim!

Rachel wrote: "Do you have to read book 2 to know what happens? Or can it be a stand alone book?"
I have only read this one and it was quite an ending. You could just read this one. It was not a cliffhanger.

Excellent review, Kim. Glad you thoroughly enjoyed this. ❤️
There have been 2 versions of this book and that might be what Rachel is referring to. I read this book in 2009 when it was originally released. Now it’s been re-released with changes. The original book is now is listed as a release 1 or something similar.
