Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I don't usually read "adult books," but Firefly Lane came highly recommended by a friend and I passed it along to my mother after I read it. She enjoyed it too. It is a beautiful story of a lifelong friendship. It reminded me of Summer Sisters by Judy Blume (another great adult read).

Two young girls are brought together by unpleasant circumstance and coincidence. They share their secrets and their lives and are both better people because of it. They make mistakes and learn forgiveness. Although parts are very sad, this book holds the reader from beginning to end and makes you want more.

I enjoyed reading about and reflecting on the different choices the girls made as their lives progressed. It makes you want to stop and look at your own life and examine the path you have chosen.

Not a book for children. But for anyone who has carried a friendship through thick and thin, loss and heart ache, joy and triumph; this book will make you smile, laugh, sigh, nod, and cry.
