The Connellys of County Down by Tracey Lange

5.0

Wow I really loved this book. I finished in under a day and could not wait to continue when I had to step away. Somehow I love messy characters who make bad decisions, but for (mostly) good reasons and that just perfectly explains basically every single character in this book. It is character driven, but also the story keeps pulling you along so that you can't put it down until you know how all the secrets come out. I love this family dynamic, where they seem like a dysfunctional family on the outside, but they are just trying to survive and take care of each other in their own ways (which the others don't always see/understand). The audiobook heightened all the motions and really gave an extra layer and voice to these characters that I loved.
