PS introduces us to Tully, someone who has you experiencing lots of mixed emotions. She is a dark character with many secrets and a past that she wants to move on from, but a loveless childhood filled with anguish, abandonment and abuse is difficult to deal with. Tully makes certain choices through her life which leaves you feeling frustrated, sympathetic and emotional throughout the book.She meets Jennifer and Julie who become her closest friends and help to fill the void and provide an escapeVery intense. Brutally honest. Incredibly real. One of my absolute favorite books.Years later, this book still sticks with me. There were just so many poignant moments in it and my heart STILL aches for this girl. This is, to me, the best Paullina Simons book (you can keep your Russians) and I will definitely re-read because I have so much love for it and would love to write a proper review immediately after reading.
Im thankful I read this book slowly. Snails pace really. Because it was hard. So hard. Not in a negative way. But in a it made my heart hurt way. My feelings hurt. My eyes hurt. My head even started to hurt. Tully is a lost soul. Her whole life. I cant relate to that personally, but Paullina made me feel for her.

I started out this book with apprehension... oh great another coming of age story about a mistreated teenager...However, I really liked the character Tully, and the story was original and entertaining.

I would not consider this book a real "page turner," as I had no problem putting it down, but it was compelling enough to keep picking it up and wanting to know what was
In my top five books of all time. I loved this book more than words can describe!
Seriously, I can't get a good book to save my life here. What this book taught me is that I can cheat on my husband numerous times, have a baby by a different man while I am still married to him, and at the end just say, "I'm sorry! I wanted you all along!" and have everything be a-ok. Oh, and I have to somehow be in Kansas.
I struggled to give "Tully" three stars. This book started out really intriguing - the first third of the book I thouroughly enjoyed. As I started to get into the middle of the book, I realised that it would have greatly benefited from proper editing. It is obvious that 'Tully' is Paulina Simon's first book, and at times it seems she has something to prove. This book was far, far too long. It repeated itself so much and drew out unecessary sub-plots with too much description. Halfway through the
