Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch

I might have liked this one even more than Love and Gelato. I love a love story with a road trip / travel backdrop. The descriptions of Ireland were great. The characters really tug at your heart strings. I liked the sibling dynamics and the love story was very sweet.

I definitely had high expectations for this book given how good the first one was. And while it wasn't exactly as good it was still so good! The sibling dynamics in this book are incredible and I love how the main character in this book is Lina's best friend.

While this book was entertaining and I am glad that I read it, I did not like it as much as Love & Gelato. I liked the sibling dynamic within Addie's family, but I did not like the writing as much as the author's other book. I particularly disliked the guidebook aspect, and ended up skipping all of the passage excerpts because it annoyed me so much. Even though it was supposed to be decently significant to the book, I think that the whole thing would have happened without it just fine and with minimal changes and would have made the story more streamlined and been able to be more immersive.

addie is a much more enjoyable mc than her predecessor, lina, and her story is just as compelling. i absolutely hate the writer of the little “heartbreak in ireland” interludes and i wish she would shut up. other than that, all of the family/sibling dynamic, adorable new friendships, and exploration of ireland makes the book a super fun and quick read :)

I really enjoyed this book, it was a quick and easy read for me. I didn’t want to put it down. something felt so relatable about the road trip

Middle grade rom com set in Ireland. More of a love story between siblings, which was sweet, though there is a budding romance. Lina and Ren from Love & Gelato make an appearance at the end.
