Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Importance of Being Aisling by Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen, read by Amy McAllister.

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?

People can't get enough of Aisling:

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

'The year's funniest book to date' Hello

'Will have you shedding a tear as well as laughing your socks off' Fabulous

'Both Aisling and the novel have a great big thumping heart' Sunday Times

Next part in the series - a howl

The accents/voices sometimes aren’t the easiest to differentiate but overall it’s very well read.
The book is hilarious. Enjoying the series and looking forward to the next book!

Well written, funny and fast paced

Really enjoyed this second book. It reminds me of so many
Girls I have known that over the years. If your Irish or lived in Ireland you would find it hilarious as it’s based on a country girl and what she gets up to in her hometown in Ireland. Defo worth listening too for a few laughs and a good storyline.
