📃If you’re looking for books to add to your April TBR, you absolutely must add THE BRIGHT YEARS by Sarah Damoff 🔆

🔆I was sold immediately when this book was marketed for fans of Mary Beth Keane and Claire Lombardo. I think those were accurate comparisons, and I’d also find it fitting to add Tracey Lange to the list!

💓This story blew me away. It started out quiet and slow and kept building and building along the way. With every chapter, I was more invested than the last. I really don’t remember a book having such dramatic character building in a very long time. By the end, I was literally sitting there stunned in silence.

🔆At its core, this is a family drama covering four generations of messy and imperfect people making messy and imperfect choices. The emotions, the reactions, and the consequences were brutally human and in line with reality.

💓I really don’t want to say much because I think it’s best if you go in with as little information as possible in this case. You won’t regret reading this one!

⚠️This story deals with heavy topics such as addiction, miscarriage, etc.

🎧I really enjoyed the listening experience, especially the parts read by Lee Osario! I definitely need to find more books read by him!!
