Tully decides to leave her job as a talk show host and takes a break to focus on herself and her relationships. She reconnects with Kate’s husband, Johnny, and they start to develop feelings for each other.

Lucy’s character development throughout the story changes drastically, but can you blame her? The reason I loved the character Lucy so much is because she is relatable. I feel as if I understand or can imagine what she goes through for parts of the story. She becomes tougher, mature, and most of all grateful. Grateful for the small things that really matter. As a reader of this incredible journey it helped me to realize and be grateful for the little things as well. Another lesson she learned is having loving friends and family is way more important than any tangible item. Although Lucy and her father don't exactly see eye to eye they do end up needing each other throughout the book.Marah, Kate’s daughter, goes to rehab and begins to turn her life around. She and Tully finally have an honest conversation about their past and make peace with each other. Lucas, Kate’s son, also starts to come to terms with his grief and begins to open up to his family. Return to the world of FIREFLY LANE—now a Netflix series—from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah. As teenagers in the seventies, Tully Hart and Kate Mularky were inseparable. Tully, with her make-up and her halter tops, was the coolest girl in school. Kate, with her glasses and her high water jeans, was the geeky outsider. But chance and circumstance brought them together and through the decades they were devoted to each other. This was the story of Tully and Kate which began on a quiet street called Firefly Lane. Best friends forever. What do you think of Tully’s actions, like not going to the funeral and playing music to dance to at the reception? Was Johnny right to be as angry as he was?

I think I would have been all about this book if I liked Lucy better. Or if there was another character that was fully developed that I could like. As it was, Lucy is really the only character in this book, and I didn't get along with her. There was a boyfriend-type guy in this book that I almost got to know, but not really-- and I kind of wished the book was about him instead because he was a cool guy.Overall, “Fly Away” is a beautifully written and emotionally charged novel that explores the themes of love, loss, and forgiveness with great depth and sensitivity. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is compelling, making it a highly recommended read for fans of contemporary fiction. Fly Away Book Spoiler Meanwhile, Marah, Kate’s teenage daughter, is struggling to cope with her mother’s death. She turns to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain, and her relationship with her father becomes strained. Tully tries to help Marah, but her own problems threaten to get in the way. First of all fifteen-year-old Lucy Willows does not discover anything. She overhear when her mother and father was talking. Not only that but her father clearly made Lucy and her sister sit and then tell them about Thomas. Lucy does not begin question everything. Absolutely not she start any different from any Fifeteen-Year-Old Girl. She just becomes more annoying, more irritating and insufferable. Good the book is short or else I would leave the book unfinished as Lucy's character remind me so much of that age time. She does not listen to anyone. She could have learned something from her sister who was dealing with it in a lot better way. Whatever Lucy does, I was like

So the river flood is happening, but as in real life so are a million other things too. Our main character, a child named Lucy secretly wants to be a poet, lives in a family of singers and cannot carry a tune. Her sister is an amazing artist but no one quite knows yet, and it turns out Lucy is the only one who knows her 2 year old brother Teddy can sing like an angel. He doesn't use words, but every night he sings just to his big sister. The adults have their problems too, but they are all through the lens of a child so it is felt, but not explained. The mother I related to more than I wanted to. Her youngest hasn't bonded with her as well, and she feels guilt over it. She also wants to be or do something more with her life but can't quite put her finger on it. Once, a long time a go, I walked down a night-darkened road called Firefly Lane, all alone, on the worst night of my life, and I found a kindred spirit. That was our beginning. More than thirty years ago. TullyandKate. You and me against the world. Best friends forever. But stories end, don’t they? You lose the people you love and you have to find a way to go on. . . . Although she tells them not to come, Lucy's parents bear through and make it to Aunt Frankie's, just in time. This year, the flooding is worse and through it all, Lucy learns a lot. When her little brother goes missing, she knows she is the only one he will sing out to. Lucy must find her voice so she can sing their song and find her brother. 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.

Even as she vowed to pass by, she found herself turning, reaching for the door, going inside. She slipped into the dark, crowded interior and headed straight for the long mahogany bar. I didn't love this book and for a while, didn't think this would even get up to a three-star review. It did grow on me by the end: mostly due to Lucy's relationship with her grandfather, who was perhaps my favorite character in the novel. Alas, I never really connected with Lucy, and I didn't completely find her voice authentic. The beginning of the novel was quite slow, and there were a few points where I wasn't really sure I wanted to keep reading. It's really a rather sad and serious book, and it seems to meander a bit, with no real ultimate point. The overall plot, as well as the small details, seem to veer off on weird tangents. Do we focus on Lucy's anger at her father? Or her growing up, exploring boys and teenage life? Or maybe her grandfather and his strained relationship with Lucy's father? Often, there were many times where I found myself wondering why the author felt the need to include certain details, or include a particular plot point. Touching, powerful, and highly emotional are the words I would use to describe this. Oh, and yes...you will still want your Kleenex handy while reading it.
