With her cafe, BallyGoBrunch, flying and the door firmly closed on her relationship with boyfriend John, Aisling accepts an unexpected job offer and boards a business-class flight to New York in her best wrap dress and heels. As she finds her feet in the Big Apple, she throws herself into the dating game, grapples with 'always-on' work culture, forges and fights for new friendships and brings her good wedges to a party in the Hamptons, much to her friend, Sadhbh's, dismay.

Aisling is 28 and she’s a complete...Aisling. She lives at home in Ballygobbard (or Ballygobackwards, as some gas tickets call it) with her parents and commutes to her good job at PensionsPlus in Dublin. Aisling goes out every Saturday night with her best friend, Majella, who is a bit of a hames (she’s lost two phones already this year - Aisling has never lost a phone). They love hoofing into the Coors Light if they’re 'Out' or the vodka and Diet Cokes if they’re 'Out Out'.

Living in the Big Apple feels like a movie, especially when Aisling finds her ex-boyfriend John on her doorstep. Can his new-found devotion (and his new six-pack!) lure her back home, or should she continue to chase the American dream with the Irish Mafia and Jeff the ridey fireman? Meanwhile, in Ballygobbard, it’s all go. Baby showers are the new hen parties, Mammy and Dr Trevor are more serious than Aisling thought, and the prospect of two evil stepsisters has her doubting her place in the family.

Meet Aisling. She's a country girl learning to love the city sophistication of unlimited Pinot Greej and brunch, though smashed avocado still mystifies her. She can plan anything, from Secret Santa for her ungrateful colleagues to a hen party for not one but two brides. But even Aisling is thrown off course when her job and relationship suddenly go up in smoke. Life in the city was supposed to be glamorous and grown-up, but all at once she's heading home to live with her mother. (Not without a detour to Vegas first - she's unemployed and single, not dead.)

Brought to you by Penguin. Aisling is ready to conquer the world. Yes, Aisling recently had her heart broken and her job disappear, but everything's back on track. She's got a new man and a new business, and her best friend has asked her to cater for her wedding. What could be nicer? Aisling's world is falling apart. Because a celebrity wedding is in town on the same day, and taking that job could change the game for Aisling's fledgling business. Not to mention that an old flame is back in town, muddying the waters with her handsome new boyfriend.

Sadie and Max fell in love while training to be classical pianists in music school, and they’ve been chasing their dreams together ever since. Now they’ve gotten engaged and are on the verge of a bright future—until an unexpected twist throws them out of harmony. When they’re both finalists in the prestigious Van Cage piano competition, they go from being each other’s biggest fans to fierce rivals. The winner will be launched into a meteoric career as a concert pianist, but only one can take first place.

Eigentlich wollte die bodenständige 28-jährige Aisling (sprich: Äschling) nur eins: endlich einen Antrag von ihrem Freund John. Als selbst der romantische Trip nach Teneriffa nichts hilft, macht Aisling plötzlich etwas ganz und gar Unvernünftiges: Sie trennt sich von John, zieht von ihrem Heimatort Ballygobbard nach Dublin – und findet sich schon bald zwischen neuen glamourösen Freundinnen, einem Finanzskandal (den, so hofft sie inständig, nicht sie selbst verursacht hat) sowie einem Liebesdreieck (das in ein Liebesviereck zu münden droht) wieder.

So schnell kann’s gehen: Gerade noch lief in Dublin für Aisling alles wunderbar, da zerplatzt der Großstadttraum... Nicht nur, dass sie plötzlich ihren Job verliert, auch aus ihrer coolen WG muss sie ausziehen - und die gerade wieder aufgeflammte Beziehung zu John geht den Bach runter. Was tun? Erstmal zurück nach Hause aufs Land (nicht ohne einen Abstecher nach Las Vegas - ein bisschen Spaß muss schließlich sein). Eine Katastrophe? Oder wird es Aisling gelingen, in Ballygobbard nicht nur zurück zu ihren Wurzeln, sondern auch ihr Glück zu finden?
