We are the Brennans follows the Brennan family, consisting of four siblings and their father, as well as family friend Kale who may as well been family as they run their local bar, deal with deep feelings of regret and hurt, and find ways to move beyond family secrets that have torn them apart.

One of my all-time worst pet peeves is a storyline that is driven by a simple misunderstanding that could have been cleared up in a single conversation. This is so common and it drives me absolutely nuts. However, I think I can say that this book took that concept and actually made it a compelling, realistic, and heartfelt story which totally took me by surprise. I loved everyone in the family, I loved their dynamics, and I loved their ability to work together as a family when it was important. Each chapter switched perspective which gave you richer viewpoints across the family. A sweet and sad family drama.
