I loved We Are the Brennans so I was thrilled to join a read together with Celadon Books for Lange’s newest book, The Connellys of County Down. (Available August 1st!) Thank you, Celadon, for the gifted copy.

Irish-American dysfunctional families? Sign me up! Makes me feel right at home.

If you liked the Brennans, you’ll like this one. It’s a slow burn, character-driven exploration of families and the dynamics in them that cause people to behave the way they do.

Lange creates such complicated and multidimensional characters. They make bad decisions and are far from perfect but they learn, grow and change individually and together as a family. Their love for each other is so beautiful and real.

The Connellys of County Down is the perfect mix of heartbreaking and heartwarming. Things aren't perfect for the characters but they are good.
