Although I do love Kristin Hannah’s work, I never read the books. Just sounded too “fluffy” for me. I was wrong!!! I started watching this on a whim on my half hour lunch breaks and was immediately hooked. I’m glad that I parceled the episodes out as opposed to binge watching. Because the episodes were longer than my 1/2 hour break there were lots of times it was difficult to stop mid episode. Tully and Kate’s friendship was so amazing and beautiful. All of the story lines so engaging. I didn’t want it to end!!! I’m definitely going to be watching this series again. The actresses who played Tully and Kate both as teens and adults were perfectly spot on. Great job casting!!
