Publisher's Summary
"The perfect book for driving around the Mid-Atlantic or New England, the audio equivalent of un-put-down-able."—AFAR magazine on We Are The Brennans
From Tracey Lange, the New York Times bestselling author of We Are the Brennans, comes The Connellys of County Down: a story about fierce family loyalty, good intentions gone awry, and the consequences of improbable love.
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.
While she works to build a new career and hold her family together, Tara finds a chance at love in a most unlikely place. But when the Connellys’ secrets start to unravel and threaten her future, they all must face their worst fears and come clean, or risk losing each other forever.
The Connellys of County Down is a moving novel about testing the bounds of love and loyalty. It explores the possibility of beginning our lives anew, and reveals the pitfalls of shielding each other from the bitter truth.
A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

Great story
This was a great family story. Realistic characters and dysfunctional family relationships. You can’t help but want something to go right for these siblings.

Lightweight
It’s a story that has no real substance. It’s starts out intriguing but never goes anywhere interesting. It’s not bad it’s just lightweight.

Sweet Story
I enjoyed the overall story, but it was predictable. At times I was annoyed with the characters. The performance was adequate.

Heartfelt characters, good read
Loved this book as much as her last, We Are the Brennans. Her characters are the heart of both books, and the story flows.

DNF after half way through.
I really enjoyed Lange's first book, We Are the Brennans, but I couldn't even finish this book. I've read/listened to over 85 books so far this year, and this by far was the worst. I'm not sure if this was written and published quickly to take advantage of the great buzz from Brennan's...but this was really bad. One dimensional characters. Poorly constructed storyline that you could tell what was going to happen after the first three chapters. Frustrating character development and dialogue. Save yourself a credit. This is the first book of 2023 that I did not finish. Even Barrie's narration couldn't save it.

Long Awaited
I truly loved Tracey Lange’s first novel and have recommended to all my reader friends.
Her second novel has been long awaited, but a letdown. Good, but I don’t love this novel.

Messy family drama
Tracey Lange’s story kept me engaged and, at times, on the edge of my seat anxiously hoping for the best for this family.
As usual, Barrie Kreinik’s narration was perfect.
