Firefly Lane Paperback – 6 January 2009

Loved this book!!A heart touching and enthralling story!!Hats off to Kristin Hannah!!One of the best novels on Friendship which I have ever read!!A Must Read!!

Awesome book

Reminded me of Jodi Picoult's writing. A lovely story about the friendship between two girls/women. The ups and downs, highs and lows. A bit repetitive in parts, but definitely worth a read.

Superb novel loved it

Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah is a compelling novel that delves into the intricacies of female friendship. The story begins in the summer of 1974, when Kate Mularkey, a socially isolated girl with no friends at school, meets a new neighbor, Tully Hart. Despite their contrasting personalities, Kate and Tully become inseparable friends by the end of the summer, known affectionately as "TullyandKate."Their friendship spans more than three decades, enduring numerous challenges and life changes, including careers, marriages, and personal struggles. Through these ups and downs, their bond is continually tested, yet it remains a testament to loyalty, love, and forgiveness.Kristin Hannah's writing is both engaging and heartfelt, capturing the essence of Kate and Tully's deep connection. She skillfully develops their characters as the narrative progresses through different phases of their lives. While some plot points may come across as predictable or overly dramatic, this occasionally aligns with the nature of close female friendships.Overall, Firefly Lane is a beautiful exploration of the enduring power of friendship, and Hannah's portrayal of Kate and Tully's relationship is both authentic and moving.

It's not half as good as her novel "The Great Alone".

Actually, I found it little disappointing, plus it left me with some questions.

Firefly Lane is my first ever Kristin Hannah experience. Even after knowing how hard hitting her stories can be, I was still surprised by how deep it went. Firefly Lane is not everyone's cup of tea. It has many trigger warnings. So make sure you do your research before picking it up. However, it is a story that stays with you hours after you finish reading. Particularly, because of the emotional rollercoaster ride that you are on with Kate and Tully.
