What this book is about
Fly Away picks up after the ending of Firefly Lane — after Kate's death. It follows Tully as she falls apart without her best friend, and Kate's family as they grieve, and the way Tully's fame and the road that took her there intersect with her inability to function. It is darker and more self-destructive than its predecessor.
