Beautiful writing from Kristin Hannah， as always。 But this one fell a little flat for me。 I think I'll enjoy it as a tv series， but it's just not the type of book I enjoy。 I found the first 3/4 really boring。 Beautiful writing from Kristin Hannah， as always。 But this one fell a little flat for me。 I think I'll enjoy it as a tv series， but it's just not the type of book I enjoy。 I found the first 3/4 really boring。 。。。more

I was not ready for Firefly Lane — I got sucked into this story immediately about two young girls， Kate and Tully， who form a lifelong friendship in the suburbs of Seattle in middle school。 The story follows the girls as they move through high school， college， then beyond， into the working world as adults。 They share some interests but forge increasingly different paths though their bond remains。 Like any strong relationship， Kate and Tully experience highs and lows — Joy， jealousy， resentment a I was not ready for Firefly Lane — I got sucked into this story immediately about two young girls， Kate and Tully， who form a lifelong friendship in the suburbs of Seattle in middle school。 The story follows the girls as they move through high school， college， then beyond， into the working world as adults。 They share some interests but forge increasingly different paths though their bond remains。 Like any strong relationship， Kate and Tully experience highs and lows — Joy， jealousy， resentment and forgiveness are all at play。 After weathering several hurdles over many decades， one poor decision threatens to end their friendship for once and for all。 I liked Kate more than Tully but could relate to aspects of both of their lives and their feelings at various points in the book。 I loved the theme of the importance of friendship and family。 。。。more

This was a total beach book， incredibly corny。 However it was a kick to remember back on all the music， styles， etc that transpired during the 70s and onward。

One of my most favorite books I’ve ever read and I’m so grateful to my friend who encouraged me to read it。So many emotions reading this book: laughing， cringing， crying， crying， disappointment， crying， love。 Literally everyone needs to move this novel to the TOP of their TBR because it’s beautiful。 I can’t wait to read my next Kristin Hannah book！ 😍

Everyone else raves about this book and it was good。 I'd probably give it a 3。5。 But it was just enjoyable to read。 Nothing that stuck with me。 Everyone else raves about this book and it was good。 I'd probably give it a 3。5。 But it was just enjoyable to read。 Nothing that stuck with me。 。。。more

I can’t super process right now how I feel。 I miss my friends a lot in this weird time with COVID。 I feel lonely。 There have been times in my life I was driven and passionate about work and felt like Tully。 More often I feel like Kate in being a little unsure and overcommitted。 But I also felt frustrated by the stuff Tully would do。。。。 ughhhh！

I love this book and how it showed that two completely different and opposite people could be best friends。 It showed that nothing in this world such as fame and fortune can fully complete you。 Family， friends， and loved-ones is the richest reward a person can attain in life even if the whole world is crumbling all around。 Everyone has a family even if we feel all alone at times。 This story shared about a friendship that lasts through the decades; a relationship that anyone could wish for。 In th I love this book and how it showed that two completely different and opposite people could be best friends。 It showed that nothing in this world such as fame and fortune can fully complete you。 Family， friends， and loved-ones is the richest reward a person can attain in life even if the whole world is crumbling all around。 Everyone has a family even if we feel all alone at times。 This story shared about a friendship that lasts through the decades; a relationship that anyone could wish for。 In the end Love is what matters。 I wish I was a firefly lane girl！ 。。。more

Was good and written well。 Nothing too amazing with the story line。 Honestly don't think it's good enough to be made into a tv show， guess it's a generic enough of a story to make into a series。 Was good and written well。 Nothing too amazing with the story line。 Honestly don't think it's good enough to be made into a tv show， guess it's a generic enough of a story to make into a series。 。。。more

I love Kristen Hannah but this book really got to me。 I love their friendship， I loved the way Johnny loved her， and my heart broke in the end。 I cried for the 3 days trying to finish it。 And I'd recommend again and again。 I love Kristen Hannah but this book really got to me。 I love their friendship， I loved the way Johnny loved her， and my heart broke in the end。 I cried for the 3 days trying to finish it。 And I'd recommend again and again。 。。。more

Oy vey。 I could only wonder why Ms Hannah hasn't been sued for plagiarism。 Yep， I finished it， so 2 stars， but sooooo predictable it smelled。。。。bad。 I know Ms Hannah clearly took this subject seriously by the end notes， but this story was written before and made into a movie， so pluhleez。。。。 Oy vey。 I could only wonder why Ms Hannah hasn't been sued for plagiarism。 Yep， I finished it， so 2 stars， but sooooo predictable it smelled。。。。bad。 I know Ms Hannah clearly took this subject seriously by the end notes， but this story was written before and made into a movie， so pluhleez。。。。 。。。more

I enjoyed this book thoroughly。 However， I do almost wish that it was a trilogy I felt at times that stories were not finished and that I could have understood the characters more but that ending will have you thinking you knew all of the characters your whole life。

Unfortunately it’s cliched， predictable and corny。 Of course there’s success， lots of money， jealousy， depression， and relationship issues。 Tully’s mother finally disappears for good。 Katie’s mother continues to be perfectly understanding and loving。 Not much actually happens but it takes a long time。

I watched the Netflix series before reading the book。 Only bc my hold at the library came after the Netflix series came out; nope， I didn't feel the need to wait。 I did a fun viewing party of some early episodes。 I wasn't sure what to expect of the book bc the commentary from the viewing party was how different the series was from the book。 It was。。。and it wasn't。 The core of the book & Netflix series are the same -- true genuine friendship where neither friend is perfect nor one always the savi I watched the Netflix series before reading the book。 Only bc my hold at the library came after the Netflix series came out; nope， I didn't feel the need to wait。 I did a fun viewing party of some early episodes。 I wasn't sure what to expect of the book bc the commentary from the viewing party was how different the series was from the book。 It was。。。and it wasn't。 The core of the book & Netflix series are the same -- true genuine friendship where neither friend is perfect nor one always the savior， the other always victim。 I've always viewed true friendship as one where we trade places， at times one of us needs the other at times to be strong， to be honest， to just listen & not offer advice， to not just listen but offer advice and sometimes acknowledging life is hard， I've got no answers and I'm here for you。 On a lighter note， I enjoyed the music & fashion references through the ages！ I'd have to say I enjoyed these most of all in the series bc fashion （good or bad） is fun to see！ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I enjoyed this book。 It’s a sweet story about love， friendship and loyalty。 It’s a long but easy read。 My only criticism is that I wasn’t sure where it was going about half to 3/4 of the way through and I’m not sure that it deserves all the hype it’s getting right now。 But I walked away glad that I read it and it came at the right time for me as I needed a change in genre。 It also left me with a feeling like it was a similar storyline to Beaches。

3。5 stars。 Kristin Hannah is a talented writer。 This was not my favorite of hers， but I was engaged and crying my eyes out by the end。 Off to watch the Netflix series now。

Good story， almost great， but it needed a good chop。 It was kind of the same story over and over again， but she is a good writer。 Loves to make you cry。

4。5 stars！ i really loved this book。 it’s funny because i saw the netflix series first not knowing it was based off of a novel。 i loved how it was so different from the show， but also had some similarities。 Kristin Hannah is a great writer。 I can’t wait to read more of her novels！

I have had three Kristin Hannah books on my bookshelf for years， always hearing good things better never really "getting into them"。 I am officially so excited to dive into more from this author having finally finished one of her books。 I could NOT put Firefly Lane down！ I really enjoyed how time passing was marked not by a time stamp at the start of a chapter but by milestones within the characters' lives。 While many， many years passed， I never felt as though we were trying to fit too much in o I have had three Kristin Hannah books on my bookshelf for years， always hearing good things better never really "getting into them"。 I am officially so excited to dive into more from this author having finally finished one of her books。 I could NOT put Firefly Lane down！ I really enjoyed how time passing was marked not by a time stamp at the start of a chapter but by milestones within the characters' lives。 While many， many years passed， I never felt as though we were trying to fit too much in one novel， nor did I feel like the storyline "jumped" all over the place。 The story itself was an emotional rollercoaster that left me wanting more of the characters and in need of tissues。 I enjoyed the close knit nature of the characters as a whole， not just Kate and Tully's relationship。 As far as characters go， I adored Kate。 I felt like she was incredibly realistic and despite her trials， she did show character growth over the years。 Tully is harder for me to love and accept， though she certainly has her moments of pulling at heartstrings。 I started Fly Away after my tears dried， （only to start crying again） and I really look forward to experiencing Kristin Hannah's storytelling again。 。。。more

I totally connected with this novel。 Kristin Hannah， in my opinion， writes from the heart。 This is a beautiful love story of friends and family。 So much reminded me of my own experience growing up。 My mother and I didn't become "friends" until I was in my late 20s。 When she was gone， I realized how much I missed her。 I wish I had asked her more questions about her life before I was born。 I totally connected with this novel。 Kristin Hannah， in my opinion， writes from the heart。 This is a beautiful love story of friends and family。 So much reminded me of my own experience growing up。 My mother and I didn't become "friends" until I was in my late 20s。 When she was gone， I realized how much I missed her。 I wish I had asked her more questions about her life before I was born。 。。。more

I absolutely loved this novel。 This is the second book I've read from Kristin Hannah and I can say she makes me get in all my feelings。 This book was beautiful。 I will say it again， it's absolutely beautiful！ READ IT READ IT READ IT。 The friendship between Kate and Tully was so strong that sometimes it made me forget they were friends， the book made feel like they were sister， not almost like sister but like by blood sisters。 Even though if they were sisters， they'd probably hate each other。 But I absolutely loved this novel。 This is the second book I've read from Kristin Hannah and I can say she makes me get in all my feelings。 This book was beautiful。 I will say it again， it's absolutely beautiful！ READ IT READ IT READ IT。 The friendship between Kate and Tully was so strong that sometimes it made me forget they were friends， the book made feel like they were sister， not almost like sister but like by blood sisters。 Even though if they were sisters， they'd probably hate each other。 But。。 They overcame so much through their lives。 They faced problems in love， career， family， and more。。。 but they did it together。 Everything they went through they overcame it together。 There is so much I want to say about this book but I will not spoil it。 READ IT。 。。。more
