This book is so much more than just a great Summer read. I picked it up while on vacation on the Cape and, from the start, I couldn't put it down. What drew me in immediately was the pop culture references that put me right back to my senior year in high school- from the mix tapes to the Breeders. Just a few chapters in, you find yourself completely engrossed in the characters' lives. The Murphy brothers cover loss, devastation, substance abuse, friends, and family, in a way any reader can relate to. (Who hasn't had the quintessential Jeff Buckley "Last Goodbye" moment? Who doesn't have their own "Molloy"?) The best part about this book is the fact it continues to get better and better, page by page. By the end I wanted to be part of the Brennan family myself. This is an inspiring story about brotherhood- I would highly, highly recommend it to anyone
