Sunday Brennan finds herself finally returning home to her smaller Irish town in New York after getting a DUI in Los Angelos. Denny, Jackie, Shane, and Mickey Brennan welcome her home, but Sunday is still forced to confront everything (and everyone) she ran away from- including a fiancé, Kale Collins. An old fiancé would be easy to avoid if he wasn’t your brother’s best friend and essentially adopted into your family. Follow along as each of the Brennans and Collinses as they face their past and determine the best ways to correct their paths for the future. If you come from a family that holds the tight-knit clan mentality of “family is always first and strongest together,” then this is a book that will likely resonate with you. I know I found so much of my own family in the Brennans, even if we have not encountered the exact problems discussed. There is a certain respect to be owed to their loyalty and love for one another, and yet each character is still distinctly their own person
