There's something really comforting about the Aisling series. The books are so relatable and it's not just Aisling I can relate with - it's all the characters and BGB.

Some of the plots in this one are a bit out there but they serve to set Aisling on her journey. I loved the New York setting of this one and thought her dating experience there added a lot of humour.

There wasn't nearly enough Majella (give Maj her own series please) but it was still hilariously funny and as always I even managed to shed a tear.

Loved it.

Rather A Joy….
Aisling returns, now 31, and not a great deal has changed. Except….Aisling recieves an unexpected job proposition, no less. New York is calling. Can Aisling get ahead in the Big Apple? She’s going to do her utmost to try. Heartwarming, refreshing and very funny in equal measure. You have to love Aisling, after all she’s rather a joy.

Book 4 and the penultimate in the popular Oh My God What a Complete Aisling series, sees Aisling leaving her precious Ballygobbard and taking a job in New York City! Aisling throws herself into her new life: working hard, making new friends, trying the New York Dating scene. However part of her is missing someone and she’s left grappling with her feelings throughout the book. Will a handsome New Yorker help get him off her mind?!

The OMGWACA series is a delight, a comfort read I’ve looked forward to reading every year one has been released. Emer McLysaght & Sarah Breen are just so astute when it comes to Irish observational humour, I loved the Lemsip story that kept cropping up 😅 Aisling takes a big leap in the series and I loved seeing her be brave and also stand up for herself at work when she needs to do so. She’s still a bit green and naive at times but that’s part of her charm! She has a vulnerability we all sometimes have, like when she overhears a conversation about how annoying it is to show visitors & newbies around the city & she worries she’s been a burden.

There’s still plenty of news from Ballygobbard, from her chats with Majella & her Mammy. There’s a B plot centres around Ballygobbard which has a lot of similarities to the pandemic & I wasn’t a huge fan of the plot, I felt like it was too on the nose.

Overall I enjoyed the book, I read it all in one day! I needed the comfort as I’m sick and feeling sorry for myself. Looking forward to the final book in the series, especially as this one ends on a big cliffhanger!
