This is the first book I've ready by Kristin Hannah. I picked it up because a friend posted on Facebook how wonderful it was. Boy, was she right!! This book is about the friendship of two girls, Kate and Tully from middle school on. Ms. Hannah makes some great mentions of the fads surrounding the 70s, 80s and 90s, bringing back many personal memories of that time and my friends "back when".

Not only is this a book of friends, but of the complicated relationships between a mother and her teenage daughter. You get to see one relationship grow and come full circle and the other grow.

I will warn you...and some may consider this a SPOILER but the last 50 or 100 pages are very difficult to get through, especially if you've got such a best friend that you can identify with as Kate did with Tully.

I look forward to reading more by this fantastic author with her amazing writing style!!
