Do you remember Abba and Fleetwood Mac? And do you remember the best friend who said she'd always be there for you? A coming of age novel about a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by their choices. It is 1974 and the summer of love is finally drawing to a close. The flower children are starting to realise that you cannot survive on peace and love alone. Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the secondary school social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world", Tully Hart - the girl all the boys want to know - moves in across the street and wants to be her best friend. Tully and Kate became inseparable and by summer's end they made a pact to be "best friends forever". For thirty years Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship, jealousy, anger, hurt and resentment. Tully will follow her ambition to find fame and success. Kate knows that all she wants is to fall in love and have a family. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and a mother will change her. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart. But when tragedy strikes, can the bonds of friendship survive? Or is it the one hurdle than even a lifelong friendship cannot overcome?

Outstanding story of friendship
Living in Scotland, I had never heard of Kristin Hannah when I picked it up while visiting my family in Olympia, Washington. I was drawn to the story description of life-long friends between two women. As someone who gets together with a dozen friends from my college days in the 70s, every year for a "Girlfriend Break," it held meaning for me. It was a revelation when I started reading it to see that the two women not only grew up in the 70s, but in Seattle! I loved it, and hated to see it end in such a tragic way. I plan to recommend it to my sister, mom and all of those girlfriends of mine. I also look forward to reading another book by her.
