I listened to this adult fiction novel and it was enjoyable in a feel-good way. Kate Malarkey and Tully Hart are best friends. They fall together unexpectedly in the late 1970s in junior high and stick together for the rest of their lives. The first part of the book deals with their childhood and teenage years. Tully is the wild girl--brash, beautiful and a little crazy because of her horrible mother. Kate is the quiet, calm, responsible one who keeps Tully reigned in. Eventually they head off to the University of Washington together to major in television production. Tully wants to be a TV anchor more than anything, and she makes her dream come true by becoming the next Oprah. Kate marries her boss, has two kids, and settles into being a full-time mom. The two friends are separated by distance, but still manage to come together despite Tully's selfishness and Kate's depression. The novel follows the two until a death. To me, this book was nothing special, but I've read lots of sappy adult books. This is a grown up version of a Lurlene McDaniel book!
