That Gallagher Girl is a unique book from Kate Thompson. From the very beginning I found it hard to like Cat, I found her opinionated, blunt and relentless, but when you discover the hardships she had gone through in her life, then you begin to understand why she is how she is and thats when I began to like her, I really enjoyed this book and made me a envy the residents of Lissmore, as the sun always seemed to shine and there was always a celebrity walking through the village. Another great story by bestselling Kate Thompson about the complications of love, family and friends.
