*****Book Club Read*****
This book was very well written. It was a story that started out with two young girls trying to find their way in the world. Each one had been left out in their own way. They decided to become best friends and they stay best friends for 30 years. There were many ups and downs in their relationship.
You had Katie who had the intact family and you had Tully who did not really have a family. Tully came to live with Katie and they stayed as close as sisters for the rest of their lives. Tully was always looking for the next big thing. Katie was always looking for a husband and children. She wanted the family life. Tully wanted fame and fortune. This book was set in the 1970s-2000s so they had to overcome a lot of obstacles that the normal female would not have to overcome.
Tully makes it in the news world, but feels that some things are missing. Katie is content to marry and be a stay at home mom. Each one has a hard job in their own way. In the end, they find out that they were always the best of friends and that they would do anything for each other.
I don't want to give anything away, but the ending had me crying like a little baby. I just couldn't handle the situations based on my life experiences. It was tough.
I would definitely recommend this book to others to read. This was my first book by her and I will definitely be reading more.
