We Are the Brennans by Tracey Lange
3.0

Thanks to Book of the Month club for sending this book to me in August! It was a one day read for me-- I got sucked into the story of the Brennan family as it switched between characters and brought new secrets and old drama into the light. It wasn't necessarily a dramatic read, but it had a pretty steady pace and was character-driven in a way I really enjoyed. (okay, side note though, it bugged me that there were characters named both Kale and Grail... like, why...)

Dysfunction, yes, drama, yes, secrets and shame, yes, but overall, it felt like it was missing something to make it truly great for me.
