We Are The Brennans by Tracey Lange
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Ever have one of those books that you’re really looking forward to? That book you’re seeing everywhere and everyone is hyping it up? That was We Are The Brennans for me! 👊🏼 I waited for WEEKS to borrow this from Libby and skipped another book to dive in. 

As I’ve said before, I am a fan of books that are written from different characters points of view. I love getting to see what each person is thinking, or feeling. I think it helps relate and understand the book more. 

The main character, Sunday, was a little underwhelming for me. She basically ran away from all her problems then came back home and expected they’d all just go away? Silly Sunday. 😜 While I didn’t love her; I did love the bond she had with her siblings. Family - especially Irish family - is everything. ☘️ 

While I feel like there was a good story here, in my opinion there was definitely some lost potential. Certain storylines that were drawn out while others didn’t get enough attention/focus made the book feel choppy overall to me. I also was left feeling uneasy by the ending. Will there be more? There’s definitely potential. I felt like the entire book was climbing up the hill, then once you reach the top, in two-three chapters you spiraled down the hill at full speed, only to slam on your brakes, sail over the handle bars, and hit a literal wall. 🚴‍♀️ This is my reason for giving it three stars.
