I’m thrilled to be today’s stop on the blogtour for Oh My God, What a Complete Ailsling (OMGWACA) by Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen.

What’s the easiest way to sum up how I felt about this book? I loved it. Yay for taking the golden age of the romcom and bringing it bang up to date. I know someone has already said this- but I second it- Aisling is the millennial’s answer to Bridget Jones.

OMGWACA follows the trials and tribulations of Aisling – and celebrates every single girl-next-door, practical, no-nonsense, uncool tendency which actually makes her unashamedly… well… cool. Aisling takes everything in her stride, from scandal at work, to brand-new big-city living with her glam flat mates, to tragedy and heartbreak in her personal life. She’s my brand new book-best-friend.

Full of gentle humour, you’ll enjoy rolling your eyes at every scrape she gets into – and her rather rural take on how to deal with life. I loved spending time with Aisling and the girls. I laughed a lot and I did cry a bit too. The only thing I’ll say is that I ended up rooting for a guy who didn’t end up getting the girl. I won’t say any more than that, as a spoiler on this book would be a sackable offence for a reviewer… but I can’t tell you how much I would love a sequel. I haven’t had my fill of our Aisling just yet.

Gentle, sunny, sweet and incredibly funny, this book has a huge heart and is an absolute joy to read.

The Blurb:THE FUNNIEST BOOK YOU'LL READ THIS YEAR - ALREADY THE NO. 1 IRISH BESTSELLER...

'There aren't enough words for how much I love it' Marian Keyes

Twenty-something Aisling - that's pronounced Ashling - is the sensible sort.

She wears kitten heels for the sake of her arches.

And a great night out is knowing the immersion heater at home is securely switched off.

In other words, country girl Aisling likes to play it safe in the big city.

But that hasn't helped get her man John to hurry up and pop the question.

Throwing caution to the wind an impatient Aisling tries to encourage him, only for her whole life to come crashing down.

Now no umbrella, electric blanket, nor sensibly sized heel can save her.

What's a complete Aisling to do?
