Here with another enthusiastic review of WE ARE THE BRENNANS for your feed 🍀
The book opens with Sunday Brennan, in LA, drunk driving. This first scene is so well-done, so off-putting (and potentially triggering) that I knew it was going to be an emotional book.
And I was right! The first half was a little bit of a slow burn, leading up to a second half that I couldn’t put down. This book examines just how far we’re willing to go to protect our family, both biological and chosen.
I recommend this one for anyone who loves a good family story like THE MOST FUN WE EVER HAD.
