Water works...


Well I finally finished the book I've been working on, Firefly Lane by Krisitin Hannah. To anyone (caters more to the female psyche) I would say READ IT!!!. I had such a different experience with this novel than I have other books. It is centered around two girls who meet when they are thirteen in 1974 and become best friends. It spans over three decades of their friendship, each decade separated into a different "part" of the book. The first fifty pages or so I didn't know if I liked it .A lot of it talked about the seventies and the culture, etc. But it moved quickly and really progressed. I can't really say much more about it because I'm like the worst at giving things away (ha) but it's amazing.
My mom found me finishing the last pages bawling in the kitchen and I could not get ahold of myself! I have never gotten so emotional over a book before! And even though I finished it at noon, last night on the couch mom told me to tell her about it because of how shaken up I got and it started crying all over again... really?! SO, to who ever is looking for a good book, this is my one request: go buy it. To anyone who is/has a mother, sister, best friend, daughter, or all of the above, it will blow you away. (and I definitely do not say that about all books!)
