This was a different kind of book with a slower, rawer kind of pace that kept me going back for more. The Flannigan Girls is a wholesome story that explores the complexity of sisterly bonds and the pressures a person feels to be better than what came before.
Everyone is shaped by their families, whether that is in a positive or negative light and The Flannigan Sister’s parents definitely left an impression. As the sisters found their way in the world the unique bond between them started to bend and eventually snap.
This is a story of how they cope with adulthood, parenthood, careers and family ties. And if I’m honest, they coped better than I would at times! Like if my in-law was paying someone to clean my house without my permission I’d flip!
Overall, this is a quick read that highlights the complexities of family.
