Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

I love books about friendship, so was drawn to this Hannah novel. The book tells the story of the friendship of Kate and Tully who meet in junior high. Though vastly differently from each other, they forge a friendship and continue that friendship into their adult years though they go through some trying times with various situations in their lives and within their friendship. Tully is what I describe as a "wounded character," someone who has faced a lot of hurt and always fears being hurt again which ends up hampering relationships. Awesome characters and a touching story of friendship.
