Award-winning Irish authors of the beloved Aisling series, Emer McLysaght & Sarah Breen will be at Kennys Bookshop on May 19th, joining Gráinne O’Brien in conversation about their new book Our Deadly Summer.

Tickets for this event are free but are limited.

Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen are co-authors of the Aisling series. Their first book Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling was an instant bestseller, and the second, third and fourth books from the series all won Best Popular Fiction Book at the Irish Book Awards. The final book in the series Aisling Ever After, was an instant number one bestseller.

About Our Deadly Summer:
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.

A hilarious and heartfelt story about friendship, young women and bad men. Sarah Breen and Emer McLysaght bring their trademark Aisling humour in this completely new direction. Noughties nostalgia and a dead body, it’s the novel you didn’t know you needed.
