Weekend Breakfast with Alison Curtis

Show Notes

OMG What A Complete Aisling! legends Sarah Breen and Eimear McLysaght join Alison in studio, and the excitement is real — Alison stayed up far too late because she couldn’t put their brand new novel down!

They chat all about Our Deadly Summer. Plot: best friends Laura and Dee, a J1 to Long Island in 2001, and a jump forward to 2025 where they’re reunited for the first time in 25 years… opening on page one with a dead body (not a spoiler!).

Emer says it's inspired by her time at an American J1 country club job - she thought it would be “Coyote Ugly” it wasn't! — plus the girls join us for a soon to be award winning quiz “eh? or nay!”
