I absolutely loved this book , fresh , refreshing and I actually laughed out loud at some points . highly recommended and a great holiday read . 5 stars from me 1

A delightful read, just right for relaxing by a pool. I loved every minute of this delicious read

Absolutely brilliant. Funny sad and compulsive reading.

I am so glad I decided to read books outside my usual genre of crime fiction this year, this book was like a breath of fresh air. Coming from an Irish family myself, Aisling and her family felt so familiar to me
Aisling thinks her life is all mapped out, her and John will marry and they will raise their family on the land gifted by her Daddy. John however doesn't share this view, so Aisling sets about living life on her own. Along the way she makes new friends and discovers that her Mammy is not just Mammy and has her own struggles.
I really loved this book, it made me laugh and cry at the same time.

An easy book to read.. very funny! Perfect for a holiday!

Loved this book! Giggling away to myself when reading. Hotel breakfast🤣🤣 say no more!!

Enjoyed the book, entertaining and amusing.
Will appeal.to under 40s and older readers with good memories.
Good holiday read

I LOVED THIS BOOK. It was absolutely hilarious, making me laugh-out-loud on several occasions, but it also sensitively covered some very serious topics in a very deft way. I know this comparison has been made before but I found it very similar to Marian Keyes in style - and it was just as good. I have already given my review copy to two colleagues and am urging everyone I know to read this. My funniest book of the year so far, totally and utterly brilliant. I fell a bit in love with Aisling and I think everyone else who reads this will as well.

I picked this out after seeing a bit of a buzz about it online. Although it's not in my normal reading category I have a soft spot for all things Irish, so thought I'd give it a try. I admit I only made it through the first chapter, but I can see why it is very endearing and funny, and I'm sure people will love it. It's just not for me!

I found myself reading the book with an Irish accent. I found the friendship element very true to life. It was an easy read but, I knew what was going to happen at the end about a third of the way through the book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I’m sure I’m not the only reader to start off thinking ‘ oh no, I think I’m a bit of an Aisling’ and by the end I was quite proud to admit to it. The characters were well written and I loved that they were not one dimensional. I found that I was invested in how they developed and I cared about what they did. It was great to read a book where the female characters supported each other without being unbelievably ‘good’ and no one was a complete b***h. There were plenty of emotional ups and downs whilst still making me laugh throughout- I’ll definitely be recommending this book to friends.

Was a good beach book - ok story, characters interesting but not compelling

A nice easy read, with the very likeable Aisling at the centre. With some more difficult passages to keep up the interest, this is still a rather typical chick lit, great as an airplane book, which is where I read most of it. Lightweight and...well....pleasant!

Brilliant. Laughed a lot. A really well put together book which tackles the ups and downs of life. A lot happens in Aislings life. The writing style is funny and refreshing. I would definitely recommend this book. I will be looking out for more books by these authors.

Perhaps a little too predictable, but overall it's a fun and heart-warming Summer book - a quick read to devour round the pool or on a beach. I think some references I would have found a bit more relatable if I were Irish!

3 Stars.

Thanks to NetGally and Penguin UK - Michael Joseph for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Good craic!!!

Every single person on this earth knows someone like Aisling. Loves her parents to bits but can’t stand to be there too long; is horrified at the thought of missing a hotel’s inclusive cooked breakfast; has a fab circle of friends she has known for years and loves nothing more than going to her local for a night out; is disgusted by other people’s levels of uncleanliness and disregard for spending money - why take a taxi when you can walk/get the bus!!!

Our Aisling has been to a whole host of weddings recently but her boyfriend John thinks is ‘too soon’ for them to settle down and get married. Aisling is distraught - especially since they have been together seven years and don’t so much as even live together.

To escape the post Christmas blues Aisling and John go on holiday to Tenerife where Aisling is sure he will propose. When it becomes apparent he won’t, they have a massive argument and when they return to Ireland Aisling tells him it’s over.

Thereafter, Aisling’s ‘friend’ at work asks if she would like to move into her apartment as there is a vacant room. Aisling moves in and the next few months are a combination of work drama, flirtations, city breaks, lots of alcohol and spending time at home with her Mammy and Daddy.

This book made me laugh out loud A LOT and there were parts where I cried. Highly recommend it.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

This book made me laugh out loud. Easy to read and very very funny. If you are feeling down then get a copy of this book it will soon cheer you up. Very well written with great characters too.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read and review this funny book

not my normal run of the mill book..but it certainly was funny
the trails and tribulations of aisling...and what a ride through her life and loves
definitely a chickflick book that will entertain and confuse you...the irish words i had to look up as they went over my head but they did add a certain charm

this is the sort of book to read inbetween those heavy horror books , its worth a read just to see how aisling life turns out

What an enjoyable story. Easy to follow, well written and heart warming. A real feel good book. I really enjoyed it.

I got just over a quarter of the way through this book before I gave up.

I did find some of it funny, like the bit where Aisling says she knows someone is trouble because they open a new milk before the old milk is done, but it was just too Irish for me. I got some of the cultural references from following Marian Keyes on Twitter, but a lot of them went over my head.

I was just over the 25% mark when I realised that I wasn't enjoying reading it, that I felt nothing about any of the characters, and so I called a halt. It felt a bit like reading other people's in-jokes.

I'm sure if I were Irish, I'd love it, but I'm not and I didn't, so I can only apologise.
