We Are the Brennan's is a family saga that centers on the daughter, Sunday, after she leaves her home unexpectedly to move to L.A. only to come back 5 years later. The family has questions but also problems of their own and they need Sunday's help. 

Denny and Kale are running the family restaurant but each of them have their own secrets. Denny is drowning financially and is doing everything he can to keep the business afloat. And Kale is still trying to get over his high school sweetheart, Sunday.

When Denny gets a loan from a shadowy character, it brings up Sunday's past and the shame and grief that came with her leaving. Together, the family has to figure out how to fix their mistakes while also acknowledging their family's secrets.

I loved this novel a lot more than I was expecting. I felt like I was part of this family and I also felt like I was part of an episode of Shameless. This had family drama but also had family love and togetherness. I loved Sunday and Kale's story; I couldn't get enough of their second chance romance. I would love more of this family saga. Overall, this was a fantastic debut and I can't wait to read more from this author
