Another wrote: ‘So good I’ve never cried so much in the last few episodes of a series’.
One person said: ‘One of the best! So sorry when I finished it’.
Another posted: ‘Beautiful show but the end was so heartbreaking’.
The show sees Kate Mularkey and Tallulah ‘Tully’ Hart, forge a friendship in Seattle after becoming neighbours on a street named Firefly Lane aged 14.
Katherine Heigl plays Tully while Kate is played by Sarah Chalke, who found fame and gained popularity through her portrayal of Elliot Reed-Dorian in Scrubs.
Also featuring in the show are Ben Lawson as Johnny Ryan, Kate’s ex-husband and Beau Garrett as Cloud, Tully’s free-spirited mother who has a problematic drug addiction.
Fans were quick to highlight how sad the show was because of a tear-jerking ending to the series, which sees Kate pass away after contracting a rare form of breast cancer.
The finale takes place at Kate’s funeral service 10 years later, which Tully almost chooses to miss because she is so heartbroken.
However, Johnny gives her a box that Kate prepared for her, including her book and an iPod with their favourite songs that gives her the courage to go to the service.
The author of the eponymous book on which the show is based, Kristin Hannah, is pictured with a copy of her novel
