We Are The Brennans by Tracey Lange 
 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
 
“‘Sometimes there’s a thin line between helping and controlling.” 
 
I am in love with the Brennans and feel like I have known them my whole life. I have tried to think about things I would change in this book, but honestly I can’t think of anything. Following the Brennan family, each chapter is narrated by a different character and let me tell you…the transitions are flawless. The chapters begin with the last quote from the chapter before. So, the last person who speaks in a chapter is probably the person who is going to narrate the next one. The story telling is phenomenal. Tracey Lange created flawed characters that you want to succeed. You want them to be better than they were before. You want them to communicate with each other. Most of the problems in the story are caused by direct action or not acting when that would have been best, but the characters strive to overcome them. I could talk about this book, but really you just need to experience it for yourself! 
 
I need everyone to read this so that I can talk about it with someone!!
