I loved the Netflix series, so I just had to read the actual book. Actually, I read Firefly Lane once before, but when I found out there was a sequel, I had to read it all over again!
In Hannah’s book, we meet Kate Mularkey, an eighth grader who is socially at the bottom of the totem pole. When the “coolest girl in the world” moves in across the street and wants to be her friend, she can’t believe that Tully Hart actually wants to be her friend.
The two, who are complete opposites, bond in a way that only young girls can do. They make a pact to be friends forever, and from then on, they are TullyandKate and become inseparable.
As they grow up and their lives diverge, the two continue to be best friends. Tully is always desperate to prove herself and is determined to be the best reporter in the world. Her ambition drives her life, and she finds herself with fame and success.
Kate follows Tully into the news, but when she falls in love, she realizes she would rather stay home with her children. She wants to live an ordinary life, and takes pride in raising her children and doing everything she can to ensure they have a wonderful childhood.
For thirty years, Tully and Kate stay friends, no matter what they are doing. They have periods of jealousy, anger, hurt, and resentment, but they always find their way back to each other. Until a single act of betrayal tears them apart and threatens their friendship in a way that it never has.
If you are looking for a book about friendship (both the good and the bad), you definitely need to check out Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah.
