ccindy218 's review for:

We Are the Brennans by Tracey Lange
2.0

Two stars is being generous here, and I think it's mainly because I like when everything isn't all tied up perfectly at the end. But this book is made up of dull characters making bad decisions and left me with so many questions.

Why do all these adults still live at home?
Why is adultery acceptable? Because the women being cheated on are imperfect characters?
Why is murder acceptable? Because we find the dead man distasteful? Or did his actions justify the death penalty??
Why did Sunday leave? The whole plot revolves around this, but her reasoning is very weak for that kind of move and just makes it kind of ridiculous.

Check out this lovely relationship advice from a parent: "Go after what you want and don't let anything stand in the way." And we're supposed to cheer for this because the author wants us to prefer Sunday over Kale's WIFE, the mother of his toddler?

The names "Sunday" and "Kale"--two of the main characters--bothered me from beginning to end. And there is a cousin named "Grit." Ughhh.
