The Connolleys of County Down has been on my TBR for quite some time, and I’m so glad I finally picked it up.

The story begins with Tara’s release from prison after serving time for drug running. She moves in with her sister, who struggles with a hoarding problem; her brother, who suffered a traumatic brain injury as a child; and her beloved nephew.

This book explores the challenges faced by convicted felons and their families, but at its core, it’s about the unbreakable bonds of family—even in dysfunction—and the lengths we go to for the people we love.

I really enjoyed this one!
