First I want to thank Goodreads for selecting me as a winner of an advance reader's copy of Fly Away. Winning and getting to read a Kristin Hannah book before it has been released really made my year!

She was sitting in a restroom stall, slumped over, with tears drying on her cheeks. How long had she been here? She got slowly to her feet and left the bathroom, pushing her way through the theater's crowded lobby, ignoring the judgmental looks cast her way by the beautiful people drinking champagne beneath a glittering nineteenth century chandelier. The movie must be over.Fly Away is the story of Lucy, a girl who says she cannot sing. Her little brother barely talks, but sings perfectly in tune when no one else is listening but Lucy. All Lucy wants to do is to be able to sing like the rest of her family, but she keeps that inside of her and treasures the moments she has with her little brother. Her family is on the way to help her Aunt, who lives on land that always floods at this time of year. Towards the end of the book, Tully has a dream about Kate, in which Kate tells her that she loves her and that she forgives her. Tully wakes up with a sense of peace and closure, and she finally accepts that she can never replace Kate in her life but that she can honor her memory by being a better friend and a better person. M-a întrebat cineva dacă e la fel de buna ca și Aleea cu licurici. Cred ca da. Cu siguranta eu voi reveni acum la vol 1 al seriei(ciudata abordare🙈). You know they have been best friends since they were girls, but in Firefly Lane you get the chance to become really invested in the relationship. Just Fly Away is about a young teen girl names Lucy who finds out that her father has an eight year old son with another woman that both her father and her mother kept a secret. At first it angers Lucy that her father had an affair, had a son and kept it a secret from her, but then it angers her more that her mother knew about it and still stayed with her father.

Tully’s mother, Cloud, a child of the Sixties, has lived a world of her own dependent on drugs for most of her adult life. She now wants to prove that she can help her daughter. But what will it take for Tully to forgive? Four men who meet as college roommates move to New York and spend the next three decades gaining renown in their professions—as an architect, painter, actor and lawyer—and struggling with demons in their intertwined personal lives. Tully Hart has always been larger than life, a woman fueled by big dreams and driven by memories of a painful past. She thinks she can overcome anything until her best friend, Kate Ryan, dies. Tully tries to fulfill her deathbed promise to Kate---to be there for Kate's children---but Tully knows nothing about family or motherhood or taking care of people. Fly Away” is a novel by Kristin Hannah, published in 2013. It is a sequel to her earlier novel, “Firefly Lane,” and continues the story of the lifelong friendship between Kate Mularkey and Tully Hart.

I've thoroughly enjoyed Kristin Hannah's books in the past and have loved her characters. I loved Tully and Kate in Firefly Lane and rejoiced with them when they overcame the circumstances of their very unfortunate childhoods. This book is the sequel to the widely read novel “Firefly Lane”, an epic tale of the deep bond of female friendship between TullyandKate.
