Fly Away

I didn’t realize this was the last book, but I didn’t need to read the others because I knew the story from the series. I loved hearing more about how Cloud’s character became the way it did and the backstory behind her relationship with Tully. I was balling by the end

Can’t even explain how much I loved Firefly Lane and Fly Away. The ending was absolutely perfect and tied both books together so well. I love all the character development and the whole theme of forgiveness and love is so pure. You’ll definitely cry a lot during these 2 books, but suchhhh a good read.

Jessica Ford

Another sad, yet very good book by Kristin Hannah. You certainly didn't have to have read Firefly Lane before reading Fly Away, but it was good to have the background story. All of the characters were strong. It was nice to finally find out Tully's mom's story.

The good: loved the story line of Cloud and how every question from the last book comes together and makes sense. Love that everyone realizes how they took Kate for granted and loved the happy ending.

The bad: so much repetition in the story telling and wow Marah sucks! She redeems herself but for most of the book i just wanted her to not be in it lol.

This book broke my heart a million times. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to keep finishing Kristin Hannah books when I can barely see through my tears! Love the ending of this story.

Kristin Hannah has my heart. I read this just wanting more Firefly Lane and didn’t think I’d get it, but this book exceeded my expectations tenfold. This barely feels like The Nightingale or Four Winds, but at the same time it does: her books share a fundamental grasp of human love, its pain and its beauty alike. They’re beautiful and devastating, heartbreaking and hopeful. 10/10 amazing

Jillian Slindee

I love Kristin Hannah and all she writes except this... most awful sequel I have ever read... It feels like a betrayal writing this but... I wish in never read it.

Kristin Hannah's Fly Away is the story of three women who have lost their way and need each other – plus a miracle – to transform their lives . . . Celebrity news reporter and presenter, Tully Hart, has hit rock bottom. Kate Ryan had been her best friend for more than thirty years. They’d lived, laughed, danced and cried together. Kate had been her anchor, and now Tully was cast adrift – not knowing how she was going to survive. Kate’s daughter, Marah, was only sixteen years old when her mother died. Consumed with guilt over the fights they’d had during the last months of Kate’s life, Marah runs away and becomes a drop-out in society, maintaining no contact with her family. Tully’s mother, Cloud, a child of the Sixties, has lived a world of her own dependent on drugs for most of her adult life. She now wants to prove that she can help her daughter. But what will it take for Tully to forgive? And then something momentous happens which causes each one of them to realize what they’ve done, and what they have become.

Once, a long time ago, 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. . . . Tully Hart has always been larger than life, a woman fueled by big dreams and driven by memories of a painful past. She thinks she can overcome anything until her best friend, Kate Ryan, dies. Tully tries to fulfill her deathbed promise to Kate---to be there for Kate's children---but Tully knows nothing about family or motherhood or taking care of people. Sixteen-year-old Marah Ryan is devastated by her mother's death. Her father, Johnny, strives to hold the family together, but even with his best efforts, Marah becomes unreachable in her grief. Nothing and no one seems to matter to her . . . until she falls in love with a young man who makes her smile again and leads her into his dangerous, shadowy world. Dorothy Hart---the woman who once called herself Cloud---is at the center of Tully's tragic past. She repeatedly abandoned her daughter, Tully, as a child, but now she comes back, drawn to her daughter's side at a time when Tully is most alone. At long last, Dorothy must face her darkest fear: Only by revealing the ugly secrets of her past can she hope to become the mother her daughter needs. A single, tragic choice and a middle-of-the-night phone call will bring these women together and set them on a poignant, powerful journey of redemption. Each has lost her way, and they will need each one another---and maybe a miracle---to transform their lives. An emotionally complex, heart-wrenching novel about love, motherhood, loss, and new beginnings, Fly Away reminds us that where there is life, there is hope, and where there is love, there is forgiveness. Told with her trademark powerful storytelling and illuminating prose, Kristin Hannah reveals why she is one of the most beloved writers of our day.
