Oh My God What a Complete Aisling The Novel

Product Information

There's nothing on, as usual, so I check to see if there are any episodes of Home and Away recorded to catch up on. I felt like the authors were just trying to see exactly how many cultural jokes and references could they cram onto one page and into one personality. Emer said: “Now Sarah and I would be absolutely mortified about anything approaching a sex scene but we decided for the last book we’d ramp it up a little bit and we ramped it up so much our publisher asked us to tone it down [laughed].

I wouldn’t even know where to look – that’s your mother’s domain,” he says, heading for the kitchen to first check the USA biscuit tin that we were convinced was a sewing kit. Feeling her life needs a radical overhaul, she moves in with HR work colleague, Sadhbh and her intriguing flatmate, Elaine, in a plush penthouse in Dublin. With the help of Majella, her friend from back home, and Sadhbh, her always-glam city office colleague, Aisling is about to realise what friendship really means and what's really important to her.I laughed a lot, which I rarely do with books, I sometimes smile or smirk, but only very occasionally do I laugh. There is a good mix of the old ways of Ireland and the new wave of change, and it all adds up to a sparkling read.

Total target market would be late 20s / early 30s Irish women – but that doesn’t mean I didn’t, and others wouldn’t, enjoy it. As family tragedy strikes and Aisling learns of family secrets, she is determined to support Sadhbh in her personal woes and troubles.Of course Daddy won't be able to relax and enjoy his beeforsalmon but I couldn't have the girls as pissed as Denise's bridesmaids were yesterday. The dating game is a minefield for any normal person, imagine what it's like for a complete Aisling! It’s not that I’m not happy with how things are going – I am; it’s just that I always thought they’d be going a bit quicker after being together for seven years. Yes, there are some funny and chuckle-worthy moments, but there were also some really rather moving and sad emotional bits.

Each team member will get a Notions tote bag and Complete Aisling t-shirt on the night, as well as complimentary West Coast Cooler (go EASY on them now girls) and some delicious nibbles (feck the Points! Some parts are ridiculous but that's all part of the fun, and there are some much more serious moments too - it's not all light and fluffy. Because when you're recovering from a broken heart and struggling to keep your café as sizzling as your award-winning sausages, it's hard to feel you've really made it as an adult.

We saw Aisling everywhere: walking to work with her packed lunch in an old Brown Thomas bag, minding the handbags in Coppers on a Saturday night, being the one who knows how to work the office fax machine. Yes, her relationship with boyfriend John may be over but her café, BallyGoBrunch, is booming and it isn't long before an exciting offer lands: a catering gig in The Big Apple. Bridget Jones habe ich zwar nicht gelesen aber in Grundzügen hat mich dieses Buch dann doch an den Film erinnert.

From her fallen arches to her love of carbs and knowledge of points in every morsel, I connected with Aisling in a way that I have never really connected with other characters before.

If you're inbetween books, and fancy something light, or if you just want a giggle then this is certainly the book for you. Aisling has been compared variously from Bridget Jones to Adrian Mole and a host of Marian Keyes characters in between and I'm thrilled with each and every one of those comparisons.
