I don’t know why I wanted to read this book. This series has been dragging, but because it was the only book in the series, I thought I would be able to get through it. Thank God it was only 89 pages. I have a thing where I must finish the series. Just like the other books in this series, it has been a long struggle with no reward.  

This book is based on Mammy Walsh, who has been a key character throughout all the Walsh sisters' stories, she usually gives very unhelpful advice and is always talking about the latest gossip.  this is a re-introduction to the Walsh family and gives insight into the family from A to Z.  

If you haven’t read the previous books in the series in a while, then it is a great refresher and tells you exactly where all her children are following their books. That's about the only good point. Thid book could have been a refresher without the A to Z and be 40 pages of like “here is where we are”. 

I was getting bored. Once the first bit was over of this is the story of me and my husband, I was just bored. I didn’t see the point of this really. 

It was a quick read if that’s what you want and if you like the Walsh family, but I'm getting low-key annoyed of the Walsh family.
