Kate and Tully meet as teens, both of them outsiders in their school. They form a bond that cements and binds their friendship through thirty years of life and love. Tully, the abandoned daughter of an alcoholic mother and unknown father strives to be loved and to that end chooses a life in the spotlight. Kate, always a little in Tully’s shadow, chooses a more mundane life; marriage and motherhood. Through their many ups and downs, fights and jealousies Tully and Kate are always devoted friends until Tully begins to interfere with Kate’s raising of her teenage daughter Marah. Although it seems as if their friendship is over and cannot be repaired one event will bring them back together… friends forever.
I’ve had my ups and downs with Hannah over the years, but I have to say I loved this book, even if it was a bit predictable. A lot of the subject matter hit close to home, I needed the tissues at the end. Although this was a long book I read it in two days. If you like contemporary fiction about friendship this book is a must read.
