Thank you, Bookish First for the free ARC in exchange for a review!

Y'all, family secrets, family drama and a love story thrown in is completely my jam. Sunday Brennan wakes up in a LA hospital, injured after crashing her car while driving drunk.  She soon returns to her family in New York, revisiting past secrets. 

Recommended if you enjoy family dramas, family secrets and a clandestine love story. I didn't want to leave the Brennans by the end of it. Highly recommended!
