Product Description
Review
‘You’ll never look at life in the same way again. Pick up this book and prepare to have your emotions wrung so completely you’ll be sobbing your heart out one minute and laughing through your tears the next. Tully could be any one of us – a young woman who is strong, full of hope and carrying a lot of childhood baggage. Her experiences of pain, despair and betrayal are offset by moments of dazzling joy, love and, above all, friendship. Read it and weep – literally’ Company
‘A lovely and resonant evocation of that first great bond between woman…It’s deeply moving’ Anne Rivers Siddons
‘As a first novel this is quite astonishing’ Bookseller
--This text refers to the Paperback edition.Product Description
The astonishing debut novel from international number one bestselling author Paullina Simons, beautifully repackaged
Tully Makker is a tough young woman from the wrong side of the tracks and she is not always easy to like. But if Tully gives friendship and loyalty, she gives them for good, and she forms an enduring bond with Jennifer and Julie, school friends from very different backgrounds.
As they grow into the world of the seventies and eighties, the lives of the three best friends are changed forever by two young men, Robin and Jack, and a tragedy which engulfs them all.
Against the odds, Tully emerges into young womanhood, marriage and a career. At last Tully Makker has life under control. And then life strikes back in the most unexpected way of all…

Format:Paperback
A book to make you laugh and cry at exactly the same time, to make you appreciate life-long affects of cruelty, to make you fall in love with the main character even though you know you wouldn't like her if you met her, to make you remember the huge importance of teenage life and to make you miss your holiday!

I first read this book when I was about 15, and it changed the way I looked on life forever. It was like I could feel and understand everything Tully went through as if it were myself. Reading about the character Tully Makker's own battles helped me to see the world differently and motivated me to keep on going through every obstacle life threw in my path. I've since read Red Leaves (also good) and other works by Paullina Simons. But Tully is by far her best work to date. Every time I read it, its like reading it for the first time from another person's perspective.

I bought this book after reading Girl in Times Square and loving it and as it had such amazing reviews on Amazon. I LOVED this book, I loved the characters and I loved the storytelling. I finished it, then reread it straightaway and each time you reread it you realise why characters behave like they do at certain points so it even manages to improve. I bought it for all my friends for Christmas and hope they love it as much!

Dreadful
This book is badly written, banal and boring. Great if you like superficial rubbish about uninteresting people. I hated it, sorry.

Repetitive and unrealistic
At first I loved this book - but the story can essentially be divided into 3 parts and the 2nd and 3rd are essentially a repeat of the other - she is carrying on with two men and... Read more

Women seem to like this, and in fact it was a woman that recommended it to me. A woman that I would describe as a "bimbo". Read more
