I’m calling it. This is going to be one of my favorite books of 2025.

Four siblings unite after 3 years, when Jude summons them all to the middle of nowhere North Dakota. Without knowing why, Gemma, Roddy, and Conner all make the trek out to see their sister and to see if they can repair their once solid relationship. With multiple POVs, flashbacks to their childhood, and colorful characters, this is such an engaging family drama.

What a rollercoaster of emotions and if you have siblings this will hit you right in the feels. Siblings are really the only people who can truly know how you were raised and the highs and lows of your childhood. They’re the people you both hate and love the most, but no matter what they will always show up when they’re called.

This is what I hope my kids will be like (not the dysfunctional pieces or the not great parents) when they’re grown. The ending had me tearing up and I just loved everything about this book. This heartwarming family sage will reel you in and leave you wanting to call your siblings.  I love it and it was definitely what I needed to read right now.
