About this listen
Aisling is 28, and she’s a complete...Aisling. She lives at home in Ballygobbard (or Ballygobackwards, as some gas tickets call it) with her parents and commutes to her good job at PensionsPlus in Dublin. 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). They love hoofing into the Coors Light if they’re 'Out' or the vodka and Diet Cokes if they’re 'Out Out'.
Aisling spends two nights a week at her boyfriend John’s. He’s from down home and was kiss number 17 at her 21st. But Aisling wants more. She wants the ring on her finger. She wants the hen with the willy straws. She wants out of her parents’ house, although she’d miss Mammy turning on the electric blanket like clockwork and Daddy taking her car 'out for a spin' and bringing it back full of petrol.
When a week in Tenerife with John doesn’t end with the expected engagement, Aisling calls a halt to things, and soon she has surprised herself and everyone else by agreeing to move into a three-bed in Portobello with stylish Sadhbh from HR and her friend, the mysterious Elaine. Newly single and relocated to the big city, life is about to change utterly for this wonderful, strong, surprising and funny girl, who just happens to be a complete Aisling.

I usually find a sole narrator quite monotonous but Amy McAllister is superb at bringing the different characters to life.
The story keeps you interested throughout and has a good combination of humour and substance.
I would definitely recommend it!

I was delighted to find out that a film is in the works and that there are already other books in this series: The importance of being Aisling, and Once, Twice, Three times an Aisling.
I also discovered that the whole thing came about from a Facebook page the two authors created talking about a typical type of Irish girl: the Aisling! So now I’m off to check it out! Laters!
Funny, warm, touching... brilliantly read!
