Meet Aisling.
She's a country girl learning to love the city sophistication of unlimited Pinot Greej and brunch, though smashed avocado still mystifies her. She can plan anything, from Secret Santa for her ungrateful colleagues to a hen party for not one but two brides.
But even Aisling is thrown off course when her job and relationship suddenly go up in smoke.
Life in the city was supposed to be glamorous and grown-up, but all at once she's heading home to live with her mother. (Not without a detour to Vegas first - she's unemployed and single, not dead.)
But between making new friends and rivals, and finding her eye caught by a very handsome but very unavailable new man, going home is full of surprises. Could small town life actually hold the answers Aisling is missing?
What did I think?
I am delighted to see that Aisling (pronounced ASH-ling) is back in this fabulous sequel to Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling. Some things could only happen to Aisling so prepare to gasp and giggle as this latest instalment of her life plays out.
I really felt that Aisling grew up in this book. She has to cope with life after Daddy, in addition to being made redundant and breaking up with her long time boyfriend, John. Only Aisling could do it in such style as she goes on an absolutely hilarious girly trip to Las Vegas before figuring out what she wants to do with her life. Moving back in with Mammy and endless cups of tea gives her the chance to take stock of her life. As she emerges from her chrysalis like a beautiful butterfly, she spreads her wings and takes on the world...with a little help from her friends.
This book is written with such spirit by Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen that it virtually speaks to you. I could hear Aisling's voice as clear as a bell and feel like I know her as well as I know my friends. In fact, I care so much about her that I feel as if she is one of my friends. This colourful character of Aisling is destined to appear on our TV screens and it would be an absolute travesty if it is not picked up by a producer. Think Sex and the City goes to Ireland and it's comedy gold.
Both hilarious and heart-warming, your life will feel so much brighter after another instalment of Aisling in The Importance of Being Aisling.
I chose to read an ARC and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
