My Review:
I was a big fan of the first book in this series so I was very excited to be invited onto the blog tour for the next book in the series. I was not disappointed as The Importance Of Being Aisling is, in my opinion, even better the first book!
I absolutely adored Aisling! She is such a real character that you can’t help but like. I really emphasised with her when she made mistakes and things went wrong as I’ve been in situations like that before too. She is also incredibly funny and I loved the way she phrased things and acted in certain situations.
The story is well paced with some drama always seeming to be about to unfold. The book is written in quite an intimate style so the reader feels like they are actually there experiencing everything alongside the characters. I therefore felt quite involved in the story and wanted to keep reading to find out how things panned out for Aisling.
This is the second book by these authors that I have read and I’m very excited to read more about Aisling. I’m particularly interested in seeing how the cafe works out. I’ve seen that other reviewers have compared these books to the Bridget Jones books and I completely agree! It would be very interesting to see a film version of these books as I think they’d be fantastic.
Huge thanks to Jenny Platter from Michael St Joseph publishers for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book. If you like fun, hilarious books with a loveable main character then you’ll love this book.
