This was weirdly adorable. It's a bit slow-paced but I really enjoyed reading about these moments in Mycroft's life. I think my favourite part of this book is how despairing he is of his brother Sherlock - he sees him as an irresponsible unemployed lout and fusses over him despite being at odds with him constantly. Mycroft is so grumpy but you can tell that he cares :D

This is a good book to read if you would like something light-hearted and funny!
