I felt pretty so-so about my excitement for THE CONNELLYS OF COUNTY DOWN when I first read the synopsis. It didn't initially pique my interest very much but I decided to give it a try anyway and I'm glad I did as the book ended up growing on me. I enjoyed the writing style. Despite all of their problems and imperfections, the characters were quite endearing. The plot kept me turning pages to see how everything would turn out for Tara and her siblings. This book does well in exploring loyalty to family as well as loyalty to self.
I unexpectedly enjoyed THE CONNELLYS OF COUNTY DOWN and would recommend it, especially to fans of family dramas.

The Connelly's of County Down by author Tracey Lange is an adult fiction contemporary book set in Ireland. This author previously wrote we the the brennanas, which I have yet to read. I might go back and read it after having read this. This author does a great job of portraying family dynamics at different stages of life. This book follows our main character Tara who goes back home to live with her siblings after getting released from jail. Tara was the most interesting to me and I found the backstory of why she was in jail and what happened to be what really kept me wanting to read. The relationship she had with Brian the detective was also interesting. This book was a little complicated with so many perspectives and the different family members, but once I got further into it I started to understand and piece things together. I would recommend
