I read the first book in this series some time ago. I hadn't even realised there was a second book until recently. After finishing the series on Netflix I decided to read this book.

This book focuses on the theme of redemption. The redemption of self and others. As Tully learns to live a life without her best friend, she feels left behind and betrayed by the world. Suddenly she has to face reality in order to continue living.

I found this book to be so much better than I expected it to be. I loved Firefly Lane. I felt that book was a testament to true friendship. The good, the bad and the ugly. I was worried that this book would be a sad sequel, or one that lacked the power of the first. But I was wrong. The book was needed. It allowed the reader the closure of Kates death in the first book. It allowed the reader to feel what her family felt and to understand how loss is not a simple end to illness.

I love that this book allowed the reader to get closure for each and every character!
