Hello my fellow readers! I have finished my book club book for the month, Kristin Hannah's "Firefly Lane". I know they are cliches but, it was a tear jerker and an emotional roller coaster. This is the first book I have read by Kristin and I will be coming back for more. Here is a brief description, but don't worry I will only divulge enough to hook you....
The two main characters Kate and Tully meet when they are young. Kate is the shy, reserved, wallpaper type compared to Tully's outgoing, loves attention, and go-getter personality. Somehow they become each other's rock during that summer and manage to keep in touch when Tully has to leave. Since then their bond has been unbreakable. They deal with what comes their way including first loves, first jobs, and also first heartbreaks. Eventually their lives take them in separate directions where Tully becomes a famous reporter and Kate gets married becoming a stay-at-home mom. However no matter what is going on in their lives they are always able to come back to each other. Until one of them steps over the line and isn't willing to apologize to save the friendship. After a year goes by and one of them faces a life altering situation, she wants her best friend by her side. That's the thing about best friends, no matter what has happened in the past, when it counts they are always by your side. So grab a box of kleenex to have by your side (they'll come in handy) and curl up on the couch and enjoy this great book!!
Next up I'm going to start reading Kathryn Stockett, "The Help". I have heard great things about this book as well and of course people have enjoyed the movie.
Stay tuned...
