I really loved this book! It's a family drama about the Brennans, a large Irish family with their fair share of dysfunction and family secrets. The story captivated me from the first page and I quickly grew to love and care about the Brennan family, dysfunction, secrets and all.
The characters in this novel are wonderfully written. They all have flaws and make mistakes, and they felt so real and genuine. I love a story that feels authentic, where characters are not always good or always bad but somewhere in the murky middle.
One of my favorite things about this novel is the way the story is structured. Each chaper comes from a different character perspective. And the final line of each chapter is always a line of dialogue from the next chapter's character, with the new chapter beginning with the same line that the previous chapter ended. It was a clever little gimmick that worked brilliantly to pull this whole story together.
There's a little bit of everything in this story-- mystery, family drama, romance. It's a well-written, thought provoking and captivating debut novel, and I highly recommen
