I really enjoyed the book. I was such a huge fan of her last book, We are the Brennans and they were similar in style and content.
Tara has recently been released from jail after serving 18 months for a drug trafficking charge. She moves home to Port Chester, NY with her older siblings and her nephew. But she disturbs their routine with coming home. Her brother, Eddie is excited and her sister, Geraldine is conflicted. Their parents were out of the picture very early and Geraldine took care of everyone. She struggles with mental health and has been falling behind at work.
Tara has to follow all the protocols for her release; checking in with her case manager, drug tests and getting a job. But it’s hard with her record and she cannot go back to work as an art teacher. She also has reconnected with an unlikely (and dangerous) to her release, but she can’t help herself.
I think if you enjoyed Orange is the New Black, you would really like this book. It definitely gave me similar vibes. I really loved the family dynamics, they all care for each other, but they are all deeply flawed. I also loved that the book takes place in Westchester; I’m very familiar with all of these towns!
