Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen have released a new novel

Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen created a collection of books that not only made Irish women laugh but also made them smile and cry. The novels were so relatable that they became household names, with Aisling cementing herself as a fictional national treasure.

It was the one book everyone was talking about back in 2017, and one that has held a special place in our hearts ever since.

The authors may have said goodbye to the Aisling series, but they're set to release another novel together in 2026.

Fans of the Irish authors were thrilled to hear that Sarah Breen and Emer McLysaght will publish Our Deadly Summer next May.

The novel is a hilarious and heartfelt story about friendship, young women, and bad men.

The synopsis reads:

'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.'
