From the puck to the world.

so im going to ramble about a book today. because i feel like it. because it was that great of a book it deserves it own rant. so here it goes.

ever read a book that just blows you away. the kind of book that you sit there, not able to put down. and in the end you want more.

so the book: firefly lane

now i must admit i wasn't to excited to read this in the beginning. mainly because my mother in law lent it to me to read. and well, there have been a few books that just haven't impressed me what so ever that she has given me. so i was a little iffy....but i did. mainly because we had already packed half of my books away and i needed something to read.

so i picked it up.

and from the moment i started. i had a funny feeling that it was going to lay an impact on me. though i didnt know exactly what.

the story expands over four decades, and follows two best friends through them. i could really see it. i sat there reading thinking, oh i have felt this way about so and so...we all have friends like this. i felt the characters. it has been a long time since i could say that....

tully was frustrating and empowering at the same time. i wanted to slam her up against the head and then hug her within seconds. i dont know why. but i did. she was strong. she was pretty incredible and she thought she could do it all..

and katie is so strong in her own way. and so beautiful. and a worrywart and so much of everything and she doesn't even know it....

they were quite the pair.

it took me just under a week to go through this book. i could have gone through it in a night to be honest but in some way, i wanted to savor this book. i wanted it to make a lasting impact and there are times when you fly through books, that you dont get that from them.....

so i guess what i am saying is that if you haven't go read it. believe me. it will make you want to cry......in fact thats exactly what i did.

and once your done. you can pass it along to your best friend.
