In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the social food-chain at school. Then, to her amazement, the 'coolest girl in the world' moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all - beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be, but they make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable.

For thirty years Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship, jealousy, anger, hurt and resentment. Tully follows her ambition to find fame and success. Kate knows that all she wants is to fall in love and have a family but what she doesn't know is how being a wife and mother will change her. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart and puts their courage and lifelong friendship to the ultimate test.


Halo, semua!

Orin akhirnya kembali lagi untuk menulis review buku yang baru Orin baca! Setelah sekian lama ya akhirnya ada yang bikin Orin mau nulis review karena mau sekalian curhat. Hehe. Ini bener-bener baru banget nutup bukunya dan mata juga masih bengkak banget karena sedih. Rasanya pengen pelukin bukunya terus gitu karena bisa bikin aku ngerasa begini. Kurang lebih mirip waktu aku selesai baca The Nightingale yang juga karyanya Kristin Hannah.

Sinopsis di atas sudah menggambarkan isi dari buku ini, yaitu tentang perjalanan hidup Tully dan Kate sejak mereka masih remaja sampai mereka dewasa. Mereka berdua memiliki sifat yang saling bertolak-belakang namun saling mengisi dengan sempurna. Aku sangat relatable dengan Kate dan kadang berpikir Kate ini aku banget. Cara Kate berpikir dan mengambil keputusan benar-benar mirip denganku dan hal ini bikin pengalaman baca aku jadi lebih nyesss gitu.
