This is a story about three sisters who reunite after many years apart. The Ryan family lives on Long Island, and all three daughters come home for a family Thanksgiving with their elderly parents. Everyone has a secret, and the family suffers from unresolved grief.

If you're hunting for a Thanksgiving-themed book to dive into this week or next, look no further! *Home for Thanksgiving* by Heather Aimee O'Neill delivers: three sisters returning home for the holidays, each wrestling with their own secrets, and naturally, drama ensues! I have a feeling this will be one of those books I remember *reading*, but the specific plot points and characters will fade from memory, haha. It was just a tad slow-paced for my liking, but I still enjoyed it overall! Perfect ...

There's nothing quite like going to a gathering, feeling totally overstimulated and overwhelmed, but also being able to slip out without saying goodbye. No long, drawn-out farewells. *That's* my kind of party. This story, though... not so much. Three sisters are thrown together at Thanksgiving. They haven't seen each other in years. There are secrets they keep buried, but we know their brother committed suicide, and a friend of his also died. There's a whole lot of drama, but not a whole lot o...

3 stars ⭐️ I really don’t have much to say about Heather Aimee O'Neill's *Home for Thanksgiving*. A generational family drama that I found just "fair." Nothing about it really stood out. The author tackles so many hot-button issues in just 270 pages, but none of them really resonated with me or were explored beyond a superficial level. There weren't any profound insights or quotes that stuck with me. I struggled with the pacing, and ultimately it's just a book about characters who aren't part...

This is a perfect fall read!If you liked *Blue Sisters* or *These Summer Storms* or even *The Paper Palace*, you'll like *Home for Thanksgiving* by Heather Aimee O'Neill. Very similar vibes—family drama, siblings being messy a...
