Here she is … Aisling Ever After, the fifth and final book in the series, is out on August 31st,” Sarah enthused. I stumble into the ensuite – two sinks, nice touch – where John is simultaneously brushing his teeth, rubbing a cloth across his face and attempting to hold in a puke. I catch sight of my reflection – mother of God, I didn’t even take off my makeup last night, that’s highly unusual – and wince.

Authors Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen created 'Aisling' when they were living in a flat share in Stoneybatter 10 years ago, and said the character was inspired by a 'very particular type' of Irish girl. And Sarah was brilliant in that and was able to take over and say we can just say we want to take a year off and we were in a position to be able to do that and that is amazing like.You get the picture. They both have one main street and plenty of pubs. The hurling teams play each other in almost every county final, with the competition frequently spilling off the pitch and into everyday life. As a result, Daddy sees myself and John as a sort of modern-day Romeo and Juliet but with fewer suicides and more GAA dinner-dances. However, they added: “This is the end of the Aisling series, however, we are not going to be burning any bridges with our publisher. The brand new, utterly hilarious and totally addictive romantic comedy in the No. 1 bestselling AISLING series He shakes a startled Tiger onto the floor and she stalks out, glaring at me like it’s my fault – which, technically, it is. Which why now is NOT the time for a delicious new man to show up, her best friend to demand the hen do of the century and a surprise celebrity appearance . . .

Aisling goes out every Saturday night with her best friend Majella, who is a bit of a hames (she’s lost two phones already this year – Aisling has never lost a phone). Living in the Big Apple feels like a movie, especially when Aisling finds her ex-boyfriend John on her doorstep,” she wrote. This fifth and final book focuses on what is really important to Aisling: home, family and friends. Is the place we grew up our true home, or is home wherever the person we love is?Recalling tougher times, Emer went on: “We published the first two books one year after the other 2017/2018 and we did the first three books in a row and it was kind of expected then that we would continue like that and do one every year.

Denise is twenty-seven,” I reply quietly. “She didn’t do Transition Year. She thought it was only a doss and that it would get her out of the routine of studying – she actually never shut up about it . . .” Aisling is at that age where all around her people are getting married. Surely she’s next. After all, she and her boyfriend John have been together for seven years. When a romantic getaway turns into a disaster, Aisling decides it’s time to move on. Leaving John behind, she moves from her tiny village to the bright lights of Dublin. Oh my God, What a Complete Aisling is an almost-but-not-quite satire. It began life as a Facebook group, run by its two authors, Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen, and riffing off the Aislings of this world: a girl from rural Ireland who has “never dyed her hair”, “carries her court shoes to work in a bag” and harbours a deep suspicion of sushi (“the price of it for something that’s not even cooked. I ask you.”) He pretends not to have heard me.

(All of his Work Jumpers start life as Good Christmas Jumpers, becoming Work Jumpers after they’ve served sufficient years at the top, in a kind of comforting cycle of clothes.)

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.
