Oh My God What a Complete Aisling The Novel cover

Aisling is 28, and she’s a complete … Aisling.

Living ‘Down Home’ with Mammy and Daddy, she commutes to her good pensionable job in Dublin and stays two nights a week with her boyfriend of seven years, John.

But Aisling wants more. She wants the ring on her finger. She wants the hen with the willy straws. She wants the grand big house with the utility room of her dreams.

When a week in Tenerife doesn’t result in a proposal, Aisling decides she’s had enough. It’s time for a change.

A new start, a love triangle (well, more of a square) and some home truths force Aisling out of her comfort zone and into a life she never imagined.

Aisling will be back and I’ll be waiting to hear more.’ SINEAD CROWLEY

‘A loving ode to a certain type of Irish woman that’s hilarious, comforting and warm. A hot water bottle of a book, if you will.’ THE DAILY EDGE

‘A hilarious and heart-warming journey with our favourite country girl’. THE IRISH TIMES

‘An utter ray of sunshine. Now that I’ve finished the book, I miss Aisling so much that it hurts. There’s a beautiful rhythm to the way that Sarah Breen and Emer McLysaght have written OMGWACA; I’ve rarely read a book that has such a strong, distinctive...
