The Brennans are an Irish Catholic family who have been torn apart by things that happened in the past. After Sunday Brennan is in a drunk driving accident she is forced to return home to her family in NY. I loved all of the Brennan siblings and their interactions with each other. Sunday was my favorite character, and I loved how once she’s back in NY, she brings so much out in her family, forcing them all to face what happened before she left.

This book is told in multiple points of views. There are a lot of them, but it completely worked for this story. The author did a great job transitioning between chapters.

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this book. It has some mixed reviews, but I absolutely loved it. Set in Westchester county, NY, where I used to live, I felt a lot of nostalgia when places I know were mentioned. I also felt the author made this story very relatable for anyone who grew up in an Irish Catholic family.

I picked this as my Book of the Month book for July, but also had an ALC through NetGalley and MacMillan Audio which I listened to in two days. I just couldn’t stop because this story had me completely immersed and intrigued the entire time. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys contemporary fiction.
