Firefly Lane by Kristin HannahMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I truly enjoyed reading this book. A story of two girls, Kate and Tully, who meet at 14. Definitely polar opposites. Kate is a good catholic girl and Tully is quite the rebel. Kate come from a nice family with loving parents, while Tully is the daughter of a druggie mother who could care less about Tully. But thru 30 years of friendship, they make it work. They have vowed to be best friends no matter what. However, like all friendships, they have their ups and downs and even moments of not speaking to each other. Kate decide's to be a stay at home mom while Tully takes the world by storm as a news reporte and then evnetually, has her own talk show. Tully obliviously embarasses Kate on live television and Kate had had enough. However, despite the feud, when on of them is treated with a serious diagnosis, they put the past aside ends their days together as best friends like before.
This book is quite the emotional roller coaster. It pulls every emotion out of you. Guilt, sadness, happiness, anger, etc. It's the last few chapters where a box of kleenex needs to be near by.

I have yet to read this one, but I hear its really good. I like the idea of reading a book about a friendship that seems to be teetering on the edge of collapse and then suddenly gets pulled back together in a completely different way. Sounds interesting!
