Firefly Lane Kristin Hannah 9780312364083 Books

Kristin Hannah is my new favorite Author! I had never heard of her before but kept having friends encourage me to read her books. This one looked the most interesting to me and I was hooked. I listen to several audio books a week but rarely finish a book within a week. This book took me four days to finish. Thankfully I received part two yesterday so I didn't have to go long without TullyandKate.

Some of the storyline reminds me of my childhood. Perhaps that is why I was so intrigued immediately. Of course mine wasn't near as bad but I did have parents who weren't very impressed about my arrival. I also had a family who was and still is always there for me as well.

The storyline is about two girls who are on both ends of the popularity train but being a friendship and it only develops more strongly as they grow older. Tully just shines confidence while Kate is more shy. Together, they support one another through everything. One of them becomes sick after a fight but of course in the end, her bestie is there.

“One thing I can tell you for sure is this we only regret what we don't do in life.”

I have only one word to describe Kristin Hannah's work POWERFUL.

Over the years, I have heard how good of an author she is but until you picked and read one of her books, you really don't have ANY idea.

Firefly Lane is my first book by her (sad, isn't?) and I will never forget it. In my honest opinion, it's a powerful (there goes that word again) display of women's fiction.

Firefly Lane tells the story of two girls, both dealing with their own pain, who bring their guard down long enough to become best friends. This friendship continues through their ups and downs over the span of three decades.

Kate Mullarkey is the shy girl, with thick glasses and a retainer. She feels lonely and uncool. She wishes things were different. Her mother seems overbearing and things at school couldn't be worse. Her closest friends have moved forward to boys and parties, leaving Kate behind.

Tully Hart has had her heart broken by her mother Dorothy "Cloud" too many times to count. When she was just a small child, Cloud dropped her at her grandmother's house and didn't return for years. At fourteen, Tully has become a beautiful and popular girl and Cloud is back to take Tulla with her. This time, they made it all the way to Firefly Lane where Tully will have to start a new school and make new friends. But, Tully is starving for the real thing, she wants to feel loved. She wants to matter. She doesn't want to be left behind again.

Kate and Tully's world come together just when they needed each other the most. From the moment they promised to be friends, they are part of each other's lives. Through high school, dating, college, work, marriage and tragedy, they will be each other's support system. The reader follows them throughout the 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's with the (amazing
“To make real friends you have to put yourself out there. Sometimes people will let you down, but you can't let that stop you. If you get hurt, you just pick yourself up, dust off your feelings, and try again.”

I will say that the last part of this book made me a sobbing mess but I couldn't put this audio down. Through cleaning, shopping, and driving, Kate and Tully followed me. I was right there with them. I felt their pain and sorrow.

With Firefly Lane, Kristin Hannah has made me a fan for life.

“Dying was a lonely business.”

5/5 Fangs
This novel was just all right. Having read the nightengale first, my expectations were probably higher than they should be. I found both Kate and Tully to be relatively one dimensional and thoroughly predictable. It was hard to appreciate Tully for the flawed person she was, given how obviously self centered and emotionally needy she was. Trust me, I get that that was intentional given her background, but it didnt endear me to her anyway. It was also hard to feel sorry for Kate, the strong and often silent self identified martyr, who seemed to cling to a friendship she had long since outgrown. The tone of the story- sisterhood, sacrifice, acceptance, loyalty- were prevalent, but wasted on characters who seemed to only stay "bffs" out of complacency and loneliness. That being said, it was ok if you're looking for something light and easy. If you're looking for anything deeper, probably look elsewhere.
