Oh My God What a Complete Aisling The Novel

Product Information

And we said listen, all the best things come to an end…and we said we’d rather go out on a high than to drag it along after us. Aisling goes out every Saturday night with her best friend Majella, who is a bit chaotic and disorganised - (she’s lost two phones already this year – Aisling has never lost a phone). 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. 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.

Armed with her best wrap dress and heels, Aisling boards a business-class flight to New York to start a new adventure. Although I really love the sound of an Irish voice the narrator's voice on the audiobook was just not for me. Es sind eben die kleinen oder größeren Aufregungen des Alltags an denen die Autorinnen uns teilhaben lassen. This is not a genre I usually read and, despite being Irish and having lived all my life in Ireland, the drinking, social, partying culture has never been part of my personal experience. Wer aber auf der Suche nach einer leicht überspitzten, trotzdem humoristischen Geschichte über den Druck der Gesellschaft, die Entwicklung des eigenen Charakters, verrückte Freundschaften und Liebesverwirrungen sowie Familiensorgen ist, der wird mit Aisling denke ich ein paar angenehme Lesestunden verbringen können.Myself not being Irish, I think there may have been a few references that went completely over my head but that didn’t ruin my enjoyment at all. 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. Sarah said: “It was very hard to see Emer feeling the way she did and she ended up becoming an inpatient in a hospital and that was tough but we always said when we started this that our friendship was more important than the project and the Aisling project has been amazing and changed our lives, but our friendship is the most important thing. I loved visiting Mammy and Daddy and almost choked with laughter when Mammy got her words wrong - I'll never be able to look at a butternut squash again without tears of laughter running down my face.

Talk of a Dramatis Personae, and Generic John left me baffled - until I realised that I did indeed marry a Mad Tom, I'm turning into an utter Memmeh myself, and I know a hell of a lot of Aislings. This is an edited extract from Oh My God, What A Complete Aisling: The Novel by Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen, published by Gill Books ( €14. Die Probleme die Aisling sich selbst geschaffen hat, hätten mit einigen guten Gesprächen gelöst werden können und somit wäre das gesamte Buch im Sande verlaufen. Maybe more than a ‘couple’,” John guffaws, looking back at his sausage, knocking me out of my trance.We are a bag of emotions,” Sarah said, and admitted they have been struggling to sleep in the run up to the big day. So Aisling embarks on something of a life-changing experience, still donning her anorak and holding into her good sense. Sure we were at those three weddings last year alone – all Rangers lads – so it’s not like we’d be blazing a trail or anything. Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen need to bottle Aisling and prescribe her in place of anti-depressants; I can't imagine anyone reading it without a smile on their face. Fun, entertaining and, at times, a bit emotional, Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling is a fast-paced, funny read which I really didn't want to put down!

I will definitely be giving people a heads up about that part of the book – although maybe I’m just hyper aware of them and it wouldn’t be such an issue for other people. I can't tell you about the plot because I didn't read enough to know what the plot was about -although I was already concerned about her father's appearance - my apologies. I had heard so much about this book before I started to read it and was wary that it could never live up to the hype but it surpasses the hype in my opinion and I will be first in line at the cinema when it hits the big screen. Aisling, of the title, is a 28 year old Irish woman with a long-term boyfriend (seven years) who seems to have no intention of proposing anytime soon, despite the fact that his team mates are inviting them to engagement parties and weddings at increasingly regular intervals. Yes, there are some funny and chuckle-worthy moments, but there were also some really rather moving and sad emotional bits.But after almost 500,000 copies sold in Ireland alone, they said they want to end on a high note, and feel ready to leave the world of Aisling behind. She wants out of her parents’ house, although she’d miss Mammy turning on the electric blanket like clockwork and Daddy taking her car 'out for a spin' and bringing it back full of petrol.
