'The perfect sun lounger read' Sarra Manning, Sunday Times bestselling author
'Their new standalone is funny and smart, raising big questions about friendship … I loved how this kept me guessing the whole way through - I predict another big hit' Red
'Packed with accounts of chaotic summer jobs and romantic misadventures, the story is hilarious, tense, and deeply nostalgic' Woman

Laura and Dee haven’t spoken since the day they buried a body together.
2001. 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.
'Tender, bittersweet and utterly hilarious. The final twist made me gasp' Daisy Buchanan

Wistful, funny and sweet and just a small bit murder-y (Marian Keyes)
I absolutely adored it. Tender, bittersweet and utterly hilarious, it's such a beautiful, raw, real celebration of friendship, and womanhood. I felt so happy when I was reading it, and the final twist made me gasp. I wanted to stand up and cheer for Laura and Dee - I'm rooting for them even harder than I rooted for Thelma and Louise. (Daisy Buchanan)
A sharply funny, heartfelt novel about friendship, bad men and the past that never quite stays buried
Sarah and Emer have this incredible knack of not only deeply understanding millennial women and their quirks, but being able to make their characters so relatable, it’s almost painful. Our Deadly Summer manages to be as current as it is nostalgic, evocative, hilarious and heartfelt. I loved it. (Vicki Notaro, Irish Times bestselling author)
I think the book is spectacularly funny and that this new series is sure to grab new readers all over the place. They're incredible at setting a scene in time and the heightened thrill of early twentysomethings on their first working holidays abroad and how devastating it can be when those naive years finally catch up with you. A fabulous rollercoaster ride of a novel (Cathy Kelly)
Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen are two of the funniest, sharpest writers in contemporary fiction. I loved this book. It's Marian Keyes meets Emerald Fennell. Wildly funny, profoundly moving and deeply insightful about what it is like to live in the world as young women. It is both uproariously funny, and unflinchingly dark. A brilliant paean to friendship and a brilliant everywoman revenge novel.
Emer and Sarah are two powerful and important voices in modern fiction. (Edel Coffey)

Dee and Laura want to have the best summer ever before college comes looming. They think waitressing at Bayview Country Club, Long Island is going to be a breeze and have the assumption that they are in for an easy ride, which could not be further from the truth! This is the summer they will never forget, which will test their friendship and trust and challenge whether they can bury a dead body and get away with it! Loved the nostalgia it made me want to go back to the nineties and be a teenager again! A fabulous read. (Nina Pottell, Prima)
A darkly hilarious trip through friendship, first freedom, bad men and the heady days of your early 20s set against the nostalgic backdrop of y2k. Our Deadly Summer is a genre-blending triumph. It's Thelma & Louise with more Sun-In and Fake Tan! Brimming with humour and heart, you will adore this book. (Sophie White)
This is a thriller stuffed with all the twists and turns you could ever want and also a deep dive into the glorious and messy complexity of ride or die female friendship. The perfect sun lounger read (Sarra Manning, Sunday Times bestselling author)
