Fireflies

A novel celebrating the power of female friendship from the author of the global bestseller The Nightingale

Kate Malarkey is an introverted girl, but in the summer of 1974, the most popular girl moves in across the street from her and wants to be friends. Tally Hart seems to have it all – beauty, intelligence, ambition. On the surface, the two have nothing in common, but that summer they forge a friendship that will last a lifetime. Tally-and-Kate. Inseparable, like one word.

For thirty years, Tully and Kate have stood by each other, weathering the storms of jealousy, anger, and pain. Tully pursues her grand dreams of fame and success. Kate only wants to fall in love and have a family. The two believe they have overcome all odds, until a single act of betrayal comes between them, testing their resilience and their lifelong friendship.
