I hadn’t read the first book in the series. I wish I had thought…..just to get background.

It’s based around a family who have to get together, get along and cease squabbling. Family life huh?!

I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed this although it’s not my usual genre I could very easily be swayed.

This is the second book in a series but can be read as a standalone which I've done. Having said that I would have liked to have read book one first to get to know more about the characters.

I found this to be a lovely Christmasy read in an Irish setting. It's told mainly from the children's point of view- Lainey, Joey and Pippa. As an irish girl I really enjoyed this read. It brought me back to my younger days when I inhaled books from Irish authors like Patricia Scanlon, Maeve Binchy and Cathy Kelly.
