I liked most aspects of this book better than it’s Italian predecessor, but I really hate the way a major trauma for one of the main characters is portrayed. That brought the book down for me. Overall I enjoyed it though. I’m such a sucker for a light-hearted travel com.

"Hearts break open until they stay open. It's what they were made to do. The pain? It's part of the deal. A small exchange for the wild, joyful mess you'll be handed in return."
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.
"Labels aren't big enough for people. And once you try to categorize someone, you stop looking for who they actually are."

It was super boring to me, but the pages where the big reveal about
cubby
happens is pretty interesting. It does kinda deal with heavier topics so beware
