Through an unforeseen series of events, Addie find herself travelling through Ireland with her brother & his online friend, along with a handy guidebook about healing your heart while in the Emerald Isle. I loved exploring Ireland with Addie & learning of her heartbreak— but not necessarily a “typical” heartbreak. I really like how this book focuses on a sibling relationship over a romantic relationship & how it goes about healing the broken bonds. It was a little slow in places & thinking back to what ACTUALLY happened in the book, it could have been 50-100 pages shorter.
I enjoyed this one overall & will definitely pick up the other “Love &…” books!

This book was a lovable whirlwind of a story set in the Emerald Isle. I read Love & Gelato last month to test Jenna Evans Welch's writing and see if I liked it. I did this mainly because I didn't want to spend time on an author whose writing I didn't enjoy. But here we are: I gave Love & Gelato 4 stars, and I'm giving Love & Luck 5 stars. The way the story simply flowed - Addie's relationships, being in Ireland, character growth and development - had me hooked from beginning to end. And the ending was the emotional release that I needed just as much as the characters.
