This book sucked me in and I wasn't expecting it to. Family drama isn't a genre I usually go for. I liked how the chapters fed into each other when switching pov and I liked how easy it was to fall into the next character's head. The ending felt abrupt and I wanted an epilogue or something. Even though I can infer what will play out next for the Brennans, I wanted the satisfaction of the children's book being published, Sunday and Kale getting together again, Jackie selling his art, and Theresa and Molly moving back in. I wish that Maura and Vivienne had at least some redeeming qualities. They were so 2 dimensional and irredeemable. Conversely, I wish that Sunday had at least one negative trait. Just being selfless the entire time is boring. The male characters at least were fleshed out more realistically. It was an okay read.
