Search - Firefly Lane

This is an absolutely great book. It is about two best friends and the ups and downs of their relationship, their different personalities and the stages of their lives. I loved this book and couldn't put it down. One of the best books I have read lately.

This was the first book I read by Kristin Hannah and thoroughly enjoyed her writing style. The novel took me back to my youth and the pains associated with growing up and making friends.

I read it from cover to cover and identified with both Kate and Tully and their likeliest of unlikely friendships.

It's an evolutionary tale of life growing up in the Pacific Northwest and spans 30 years.

A great read.

We can all dream about having a REAL best friend. This book brings it to life. You will feel every emotion when reading this book! I really liked it!

It took me a long time to get into this book. It was another one where I wasn't really a fan of one of the main characters. And there were so many "trips down memory lane" that I didn't have memories of, being a child of the 80's. It was like a d-list celebrity name-dropping. Like the author was trying too hard to get the reader to be in the moment. And every other sentence had about 7 adjectives in it. All of that said, the book was good. Though, I do wonder how good it would have been if I hadn't live my entire life in the Pacific Northwest, the area the book was set in. It was nice to know about the areas that were mentioned, but I wonder how the story would have read if I wasn't familliar with The Sound and Queen Anne Hill. Luckily by the end of the story, Tully had begun to redeam herself and I was sucked in. I'm also terrified of the years to come with my daughter. This book really shoved down my throat how horrible I was as a teen and what I can now look forward to in about 6 years. And yes, dang it, I did tear up 4 times and almost cried twice.

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!!

I absolutely loved this book! This is one of a handful of books that actually made me cry. The journey that both the main characters go through is so intriguing. I am now going to have to read more books by this author.
