Add us as a preferred source on Google »Oh My God... What a Complete Aisling became one of the most loved Irish novels when it was first published in 2017. It's an iconic part of the Irish bookish world, and part of a series I hold dear to my heart.
Authors Sarah Breen and Emer McLysaght said goodbye to the Aisling series in 2023, but are back with a brand new novel, and it's one of my most-anticipated Irish books of the year by a mile.
Our Deadly Summer is set to be your next obsession, and one book everyone should pack in their suitcase this summer. Trust us when we say you're going to be glued to this novel from the very first page.
The authors have returned with a book Sophie White has described as "a genre-blending triumph," so it's safe to say our hopes are very high.

Laura and Dee haven’t spoken since the day they buried a body together. It was supposed to be the best summer of their lives. A break from university, from parents, from wasting their time on Irish boys with farmer’s tans. They’d imagined flirting with Ryan Phillippe on a New York rooftop. Instead, with summer jobs waitressing at a country club on Long Island, pickings are slim. Mikey is a bully. Marco is off limits. Jose is angry. Mr Haight is a sleaze. Josh is too keen. And Other Josh… he’s something else entirely. It’s a miracle only one of them ends up dead. Dee is pretty sure she didn’t mean to kill him. Laura, to her credit, never asked. Not until she sends an email, out of the blue, more than twenty years later. It’s finally time to mend the biggest heartbreak of that summer; Laura wants her best friend back.
