Thank you NetGalley for the ARC copy.

A good read. It’s the triumph of good over evil and the persistence and belief of family (or not). The issues are faced head on (alcoholism, gambling) and ultimately, accountability is taken in hand. A fractured family comes together and renews their relationships and bonds. The future is in hand.

The truth about The Truth About the Devlins is that I really wasn’t that interested in the Devlins or the truth. Whew…that about sums up this dysfunctional and not very likable family. The book starts off strong but seems to branch off in so many directions adding in more characters until I just flat out lose interest. It could be me I admit, maybe just a mood but it sadly didn’t work. My thanks to the publisher for providing a review copy via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
