An excellent family drama debut, We Are the Brennans follows the story of Sunday Brennan, who comes back home after getting into a drunk driving accident on the other side of the country. As she’s trying to piece her life back together, ghosts of the past come back to haunt, past relationships won’t stay in the past, and the family struggles to move forward together.

I really loved everything about this book. I absolutely did not want to put it down because I found it so compelling. I love that the chapters were from so many different points of view, creating a 360-degree look at all of the interwoven problems the family was experiencing. The impact of one decision in a large family often does not only impact one person, and even has the potential to rip the family apart. I was rooting for Sunday’s tragic story the entire time, and can’t wait for more from Tracey Lange!
