Firefly Lane
by: Kristin Hannah
Description: They were known as the Firefly Lane girls -- a single, inseparable unit. On the surface, they were as opposite as two people could be. Kate, doomed to be uncool, had a loving family. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, had a secret home life that was destroying her. The best friends promise to be there for each other forever -- and for thirty years, that promise holds strong. Then events and choices make that promise impossible.
"Firefly Lane is a novel for anyone who ever had a friend who knew you better than you knew yourself. It's the story of a generation of women who were blessed -- and cursed -- by choices. It's about promises, secrets and betrayals. Ultimately, it's about the one person who has the power to hurt -- and heal you."
What I Thought: Wow. This story had it all going on!!

- I loved the friendship. Not very often do you have the chance to follow a friwndship like this, Tully and Kate are there for eachother for 40 pr so years, and it's amazing. Even though the stpry is "before my time," I really conected and fell in love with the girls in this story.
- It was untraditional and that made it all the more great. The story follows these two women through their lives, which are exciting in and of themselves. But things happen. The story is not a traditional "love story," of course it has those aspects, but the story sin't abiut that part, its about ALL of the tjinvs that happen throughout life.
- I felt like Tully and Kate were my friends, too. Kristin Hannah made me feel like I grew up with these girls, like I was there through everything. Hannah's writing was just phenomenal! And I can't praise her enough. (I hear my mom's vouce in my head right now telling me that this book was just brain candy).
