About this deal
They love hoofing into the Coors Light if they’re ‘Out’, or the vodka and Diet Cokes if they’re ‘Out Out’. John seems happy to coast along but Aisling wouldn't be Aisling if she didn't question John's intentions, only for it to backfire and she finds herself single again after 7 years. Eine planungswütige Frau mit festen Wunschvorstellungen für ihr Leben, einem soliden sozialen Umfeld, das aber trotzdem kleinere oder größere Probleme in der Familie und dem Freundeskreis aufweist.
She also appears to be the annoying office busybody who leaves passive-aggressive notes for their co-workers about the fridge and the dishwasher.and the roof rack would be perilously attached to the top of the car with some bungee cords to secure it and all the cases would be wrapped in an old flannelette sheet which obviously had miracle waterproof qualities that I didn't (and still don't) know about!

I love to know what's behind the beginning of a book and how it became an idea then into the final making and selling of the book. I didn’t enjoy the endless modern Irish cultural references (and man are they endless) and the pointless addition of the abortion storyline just because that’s a ‘hot topic’ in Ireland at the moment. I should warn readers that the book has numerous Irish words and references, but these can be looked up, and certain reviewers explain many of these. Sarah Breen is a journalist whose work has appeared in Stellar , Image , U , the Irish Independent and The Gloss . Aisling commutes to work in Dublin at PensionsPlus and enjoys the comforts of living with her parents, who coddle and support her.
