Tully chooses to make her career her life’s one true love, while Kate is content to marry, have children, and be a stay-at-home mom, a reflection of her own family as she was growing up. As they grow to adulthood, they make different choices in life. But these two become best friends forever, known as TullyandKate. Tully is the “cool girl” with ambition, brains, and beauty. Kate has always been in Tully’s shadow, being the shy girl with thick glasses who is lonely and uncool. Throughout both books, spanning a period of about thirty years, two girls, Kate Mularkey and Tully Hart, different as day and night, have weathered the storm of friendship, jealousy, anger, hurt, and resentment. Hannah has a knack for a descriptive writing style that draws out the characters through a storyline that is heart-warming and heart-wrenching. Although the Netflix series is good, those who have not read Hannah’s books are missing the essence of the stories. But they have come back into relevance after Netflix adapted these novels for a TV series. Firefly Lane and its sequel Fly Away, by Kristin Hannah, were written over a decade ago.
