“Addie is visiting Ireland for her aunt’s over-the-top destination wedding and hoping she can stop thinking about the one thing she did that left her miserable and heartbroken—and threatens her future. But her brother, Ian, isn’t about to let her forget, and his constant needling leads to arguments and even a fistfight between the two once inseparable siblings. Miserable, Addie can’t wait to visit her friend in Italy and leave her brother—and her problems—behind.

So when Addie discovers an unusual guidebook, Ireland for the Heartbroken, hidden in the dusty shelves of the hotel library, she’s able to finally escape her anxious mind and Ian’s criticism.

And then their travel plans change. Suddenly Addie finds herself on a whirlwind tour of the Emerald Isle, trapped in the world’s smallest vehicle with Ian and his admittedly cute, Irish-accented friend Rowan. As the trio journeys over breathtaking green hills, past countless castles, and through a number of fairy-tale forests, Addie hopes her guidebook will heal not only her broken heart, but also her shattered relationship with her brother.

That is if they don’t get completely lost along the way.”

If you are going into this thinking it’s going to be a cute romance, then you’ll be disappointed. I even thought it was going to and kept waiting for it, but there really wasn’t any, which is why I docked it a star. I really loved Love & Gelato, the first book, which was based off of grief and finding love in a foreign country that you are now living in. We do have the main characters from that book as side characters in Love & Luck. This really focuses on family, forgiving one another as well as your self, acceptance, figuring out your own path, and dealing with a fall out. I did really enjoy those themes and loved how much stronger Addie became as well as her relationship with Ian. Totally pick up this series and I say you don’t have to read them in order.
