It is just very disappointing to still see the outdated mentality that somehow her actions excuse her attacker. It really ruined the book for me.

Idk what genre this book is considered... it seems to be marketed as a mystery but there isn't really a mystery until the end. I liked the family dynamic, but wish it were more significant in the circumstances

So Kale leaves his stupid wife and is scared about Luke not thinking he loves him and that the Brennans might hate him
Sunday is figuring herself out and is healing WE LOVE A QUEEN
And Mickey killed the bastard Bill.
It ends with Kale and Sunday talking and getting closer, and finding out the Dad used their autistic brother as an accessory for murder and that's it. We don't know how Sunday and Kale are going to recover their relationship IF they are going to recover their relationship.
We don't know HOW the pub is going to stay afloat AND we don't know how they're going to keep their Father and Shane out of jail.
Nothing important got resolved. It feels like I was given half a book and I NEED the other half more than everything.
But seriously everything else was AMAZING the family dynamics? PHENOMENAL the plot? UNMATCHED the characters? I WANNA BE THIS FAMILY
KALE IS A FUCKING SWEETHEART AND BABY I AM ROOTING FOR YOU
This family isn't without its faults but that makes them realistic and lovable. I just wish the ending wasn't the ending.
