There's sadness and pain in it, and there's also a lot of joy and resolution. I hope that people who watch the show are going to love them even more than they loved season two, part one. I think that the last seven are even better and deeper and more emotional. I'm not going to say what is what, as I don't want to spoil anything plotwise, but I'm so proud of these first nine episodes. There are also things that people will recognize. So just by nature of that, there's stuff that's different. As a result, story threads have come up that are not in the book.

We've fleshed out characters that were in the book that were smaller. In the course of the series, we've created new characters. So how much does the final half of the series stay true to the book? But obviously a lot has happened in the book that doesn't happen in the TV series. In the book Kate dies from breast cancer and says she wants Johnny to find love again. But when tragedy strikes, can the bonds of friendship survive? Or is it the one hurdle than even a lifelong friendship cannot overcome.So it seems to point toward Tully getting married, but maybe Johnny is officiating.

They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and a mother will change her. Kate knows that all she wants is to fall in love and have a family.

Tully will follow her ambition to find fame and success. Tully and Kate became inseparable and by summer's end they made a pact to be 'best friends forever'.įor thirty years Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship, jealousy, anger, hurt and resentment. Then, to her amazement, the 'coolest girl in the world', Tully Hart - the girl all the boys want to know - moves in across the street and wants to be her best friend. Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the secondary school social food chain. The flower children are starting to realise that you cannot survive on peace and love alone. It is 1974 and the summer of love is finally drawing to a close. A coming of age novel about a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by their choices.
