You will need to have read at least some of the Harmony Harbor books before diving into The Corner Of Holly and Ivy, as I feel that you will be confuzzled a bit if you don't.

I loved going back to Harmony Harbor, getting back to the nitty gritty with the Gallagher family - some good, some not so good.

Ms Mason creates characters that I just want to be friends with. She has created a wonderful world that makes me want to visit. I go from laughter to tears in the space of a few lines.

Arianna and Connor's story had me running the whole gamut of emotions. I wanted, no I needed them to find their way back to each other.

I hate, hate hated Arianna's mother, what a spoiled cow she was! I adored her grandmother Helen thought - what a feisty, wonderful old woman she is!

I mostly loved Connor, however there were moments when I wanted to hit him over the head with my kindle lol.

Second chances, Christmas - some of my favourite tropes. It is helping me get right int the spirit of the season.

I can't wait to see what Ms Mason brings us next.
