I really enjoyed this book, and I loved the continuation from Firefly Lane. I think this could be read on its own though, as Kristen Hannah spells out the references to Firefly Lane enough that you wouldn't miss anything. That being said, having already read Firefly lane, some of it felt repetitive. Especially given that I listened to them back to back.

The one that kind of irked me (which is why it got a 4 instead of a 4.5 or 5) was all of the back and forth. This story was told from so many perspectives. The jumping forward and back, and from one person's perspective to the other was almost too much. It was manageable, because there weren't too many characters to track, but it was still somewhat daunting.

If you've read Firefly, you really should read this one.
