Wow, talk about a seriously messed up, dysfunctional family drama book!! I'm not sure if I would have picked this book up on my own, but it was one of my choices for Book of the Month. And what a great choice it was. I devoured this book and couldn't put it down. I fell in love with Tara and her struggle to set things right in her life. Great story! ...more

"The most honest words didn't have to be loud or dramatic to cut deep."

Lange beautifully navigates the tendency to jump to conclusions, so l especially loved the emphasis on honesty, flawed family dynamics, and the courage to be vulnerable. ...more

While I loved Tracey Lange's, We Are the Brennans, I only moderately liked The Connellys of County Down. For me, it was rather wordy and I found myself skipping over sections just to get to the point. I liked majority of the characters and of course, I always love a good family drama (as long as it's not my own). I did like the reference of the Brennans in the story but I won't spoil it for those who have yet to read it. Nothing huge but a nice surprise. A solid three stars for this one. ...more
