I arrive home to find Daddy asleep in front of GAA Beo, a fluffy ginger ball curled up on his lap. Technically the cat is Paul's, but since my younger brother's departure for Australia four months ago, Daddy and Tiger have forged a weird sort of bond, borne out of a fondness for the fire and a desire to avoid Mammy's incessant questions. He wakes up as I reach for the remote, even though I haven't made a sound. You get the picture. They both have one main street and plenty of pubs. The hurling teams play each other in almost every county final, with the competition frequently spilling off the pitch and into everyday life. As a result, Daddy sees myself and John as a sort of modern-day Romeo and Juliet but with fewer suicides and more GAA dinner-dances. So maybe a few things were slightly over the top, some a tad stereotypical and some a bit predictable, but it really didn’t matter. This is just one of those stories where you go with the flow, don’t overthink things and let the wonderfulness that is Aisling fill your heart with joy. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting her, her family and her friends and I’m quietly hoping that maybe there may be a sequel some day. I have no doubt Aisling has many more stories to tell! Emer said: “Now Sarah and I would be absolutely mortified about anything approaching a sex scene but we decided for the last book we’d ramp it up a little bit and we ramped it up so much our publisher asked us to tone it down [laughed]. Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling is set to ‘ramp up’ for its fifth and final book, as the authors said they want to end on a high.

So weit, so gut. Für mich klang das nach einer starken Protagonistin, einem großen Abenteuer und einem Befreiungsschlag, um Träume zu verwirklichen. Nun ja, in dieser Hinsicht wurde ich leider enttäuscht. Aisling verhält sich so, dass sie dem Titel "OMG, diese Aisling!" mehr als gerecht wird. Denn wie oft habe ich über sie den Kopf geschüttelt, mir an den Kopf gefasst und gegen die Stirn geschlagen? Irish duo Sarah Breen and EmerMcLysaght admitted emotions were running high as the final instalment of their popular series of novels hit shelves on Monday.

The lambs are coming early this year and he was probably up half the night. He should be in bed, not sleeping awkwardly in an armchair. He’s getting a bit old now for that carry-on and he’s just not able for it any more. Mammy will go through him for carrying in half a bale of hay in his brown Work Trousers and bobbly old Work Jumper. (All of his Work Jumpers start life as Good Christmas Jumpers, becoming Work Jumpers after they’ve served sufficient years at the top, in a kind of comforting cycle of clothes.) Leds, leds, did you hear? The two wans behind the OMGWACA Facebook group are only after going and writing a bewk!"

After a year-long break, the fourth and penultimate book, Aisling and the City, will be published on October 8 this year and sees Aisling jetting off from Ballygobbard to the city that never sleeps: New York. Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling is an enchanting and vibrant laugh out loud book and I hope that there are many more Aisling novels to follow. However, they added: “This is the end of the Aisling series, however, we are not going to be burning any bridges with our publisher. So we take all the criticism on board so we took out a few explicit moments, it’s still quite racy don’t worry.” I've always had a soft spot for Irish authors who write the type of books which are funny and sad at the same time. I swear I read them in an Irish accent in my head as they're not nearly as good in my native Scots!

We say goodbye to the national treasure in Aisling Ever After.

Which why now is NOT the time for a delicious new man to show up, her best friend to demand the hen do of the century and a surprise celebrity appearance . . . Aisling is the meeting point between old Ireland and the newer, more cosmopolitan version in which Irish twenty- and thirtysomethings are trying to figure out their role, taking with them the best of old Ireland and embracing the opportunities and challenges that come with adulthood in a country that has experienced rapid change in recent decades. Normalising neurosis There are universal elements to Aisling that make her relatable to almost anyone, anywhere, but she is written through a uniquely Irish lexicon – she is the Irish mammy so many of us have and are, and also the Irish daughter, the fish-out-of-water country girl in the big smoke, the young woman simultaneously navigating independence and her desire for a traditional relationship, the Irish person ensconced in a tight community in which they legitimately feel a sense of belonging.
