Book Review : The Connellys of County Down by Tracey Lange
The Connellys of County Down (☆☆☆☆☆ )
When Tara Connelly is released from prison after serving eighteen months on a drug charge, she knows rebuilding her life at thirty years old won’t be easy. With no money and no prospects, she returns home to live with her siblings, who are both busy with their own problems. Her brother, a single dad, struggles with the ongoing effects of a brain injury he sustained years ago, and her sister’s fragile facade of calm and order is cracking under the burden of big secrets. Life becomes even more complicated when the cop who put her in prison keeps showing up unannounced, leaving Tara to wonder what he wants from her now. (Excerpt from Goodreads)
Tara, Eddie, & Ger stole my heart in this soft sibling drama with a little romance plot on the side. I liked all three siblings (and their flaws) immensely. If you’ve ever read or loved anything by Maeve Binchy, this one is for you!
