I loved the preview I read of this book, and it got even better when I had the chance to read the whole thing. This is the story of the Brennan family, with the focus on the four siblings - three brothers & a sister - each of whom is facing significant life crises and feeling like they’re alone and fending for themselves. A car accident brings them back together geographically, after which we get to watch as they find their way back to each other emotionally.
I immediately felt like I knew the characters - who they were, what they wanted, what was at stake. The story unfolds from multiple POVs, and the hand-offs between chapters were handled SO well - this might be the best I’ve read in terms of the transitions feeling seamless, rather than jarring or disjointed. In this way, the writing had patterns that made it clear that the author knew where she was taking us…but at the same time plot twists I did not see coming kept me turning pages to see what happened next.
This was a fabulous, entertaining & enjoyable read, perfect for vacation or when you need an escape right at home. I look forward to more from this author.
