I’ve read through lots of reviews of Kristin Hannah’s, Firefly Lane, and found some truth in all. It’s not usually my kind of book, but I took a chance. I’m glad I did. I don’t review what the book is about, that’s what the back cover does. My review is of the writing.Is it cliché? Yes, but what sto...

This was the first book I read by Kristin Hannah and I probably would not have, had I not received an advanced copy of Fly Away, the sequel to Firefly Lane. I’m not sure why I had been so hesitant to pick up one of Hannah’s books previously, I had noticed that they started appearing on bookshelves j...

SAPPY. Oh my god. This book is so sappy and unbelievable and soap operatic that I felt like I needed to wipe the drip off my hands after holding the book (and yes, I read it in paper rather than on my kindle so the dripping syrup analogy would make sense). That said, it was kind of engrossing. It...

Although romance was in the background, I was really drawn into this story about friendship between Katie and Tully that spanned thirty years as they made different life choices. I could identify with so many aspects of this story knowing every song and as typical of her books I cried at the touchin...

I enjoyed reading it. It was really long and kind of dragged on in some places but was a pretty good read.

This book is about two friends and their turbulent relationship over 30 years. Tully is a selfish person that did piss me off and I even hated her sometimes. Kate is a timid person who doesn't speak up for herself and she allowed Tully to step all over her at times. Many parts of the book was very f...
