I liked this for being different, however, it was too abrupt for the start. I often find that in many YA contemporaries that the first three or fours chapters are all about meeting the main characters and setting the scene, but Jenna Evans Welch jumps straight to action from the beginning of the book. Addie is practically best friends (not excluding Lina, of course) with her older brother, Ian, but Addie’s relationship with a guy on Ian’s football team has put a strain of their relationship. Love & Luck even has less romance to the former book, but I again really appreciated the focus on family. Like Love & Gelato, romance is not the main point in Love & Luck.
Addie plans to fly to Italy with her brother right after the wedding to see Lina, but as one may expect in a fun, travel-inspired contemporary, things don’t go exactly to plan. Love & Luck follows Lina’s best friend, Addie, and her mini vacation to Ireland for her aunt’s wedding. I’ve been getting back into the binge-reading/almost binge-reading spirit this summer, so it was fun to read Love & Gelato and Love & Luck close together (they were only two books apart for me!). Suddenly Addie finds herself trekking the Emerald Isle with Ian and his admittedly cute Irish friend, Rowan, Ireland for the Heartbroken in tow.Īfter finishing and really enjoying Jenna Evans Welch’s Love & Gelato, I immediately picked up its sequel/companion, Love & Luck.
Instead of getting to escape her brother’s criticism and taste gelato, however, travel plans change. Addie can’t wait even more to escape to Italy to see her best friend, Lina, even if it means that she won’t be able to follow an unusual guidebook, Ireland for the Heartbroken. But her brother, Ian, won’t let her forget about it, and a fight between the once-inseparable siblings becomes the highlight of their aunt’s wedding. Summary:Addie is visiting Ireland for her aunt’s over-the-top destination wedding and hoping that she can leave the heartbreak she left behind in Seattle for good.
