From the author of the New York Times bestselling Love & Gelato comes a heartwarming tale of a road trip through Ireland filled with love, adventure, and the true meaning behind the word family.
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.

A heartwarming contemporary companion novel to Welch’s Love & Gelato. Sixteen-year-old Addie Bennett takes a summer road trip through Ireland with her brother Ian and gains insight on how to heal the pieces of her shattered heart. Readers will cheer that Addie’s best friend, Lina from the previous book, makes an appearance, but this is Addie’s story. Their friendship is tested when a planned trip to visit Lina in Italy is sidetracked, thanks to her brother Ian and a dimpled-faced driver named Rowan. They take an unexpected road trip to the biggest music festival in the country. Through the winding roads and lush greenery of Dublin, Addie reminisces about her romance with Cubby, Ian’s football teammate, and although Ian disapproves of the relationship, he is the only one who knows what Addie is going through. While offering the advice of a travel guide, each chapter is like a reassuring hug in the icy climate. The teens travel through Ireland in a cramped car with a leaking roof, and the trio meets a selection of colorful characters that unknowingly help Addie get through a lost love and increase her respect for her brother—they learn about one another more than they could imagine. Fans of Love & Gelato will enjoy this as Welch takes on love, laughs, friendship, and the Electric Picnic Festival in a trip through the scenic green hills of Ireland. VERDICT Purchase for all teen romance shelves.–Annisha Jeffries, Cleveland Public Library
"what addie was hoping would be a few days with her bestie in italy becomes a soggy road trip through ireland with her brother and his friend rowan, guided by their fanatic love for a band performing their last show. armed with a guidebook of ireland for the heartbroken, addie tries to make the best of it and soak in the healing magic of the emerald isle. i loved the sibling dynamic in this one. there hasn't been a realistic portrayal of siblings in the books i've read this year so this was refreshing."

decent
"it was alright, but compared with the other 2 books it was shorter and the plot was kind of boring with minimal ‘action’ i guess. this book was also in good condition"
— Keila (3/5)
Outstanding story and writing
"Literally one of the best books I have ever read. Jenna Evans Welch has a talent for making you fall in love with reading and make you feel as if you were a part of the story."
— Bridget (5/5)
Meh
"It was just okay. Not the best one in the series but is a nice and fun summer read"
— Alyssa (3/5)
Makes you want to go roadtriping accross Ireland
"This book was absolutely wonderful, it's like a wave of fresh air. Though at first I thought this book was a romance novel, it is not and I prefer it that way. Love and Luck follows Addie, her brother and her brother's internet best friend. They go in a roadtrip accross Ireleand to follow the foosteps of the guys favourite band."

Not my favourite out of the trilogy.
"Jenna Evan Welch. . . Her writing ALWAYS gives me goosebumps. This was the final book I needed to read in this trilogy. In order of my favourites it goes; Love and Olives (goosebumps from the start and a lot of ugly crying), Love and Gelato (goosebumps from the start and not as much ugly crying), Love and Luck (goosebumps only near the end, and no tears, but tears were close). I was so ready to love this book as much as I loved the other two, but Addie’s story just did not do it for me. It was just a little boring and the events didn’t excited me. However, I absolutely loved Guidebook Lady. Side Note: Love and Olives is still one of my favourite YA books I have ever read."

Very different from Love and Gelato
"Less of a YAL love story than the previous one, but tackling real high school issues, and family relationships."
— Michelle (3/5)
Oh my heart.
"I really liked this sequel to Love & Gelato. It contained a lot of things I appreciate in a good YA book: relatable teens, adventure, friendship, sibling relations, heartache, a pinch of romance, and a smidge of danger. It made me laugh and cry, but mostly it just made me smile a lot, and I like that."
— AnneMarie (5/5)
Very cute
"I really, really enjoyed how supportive Ian was of Addie, I want more books with strong sibling relationships! I also liked the road trip aspect, I definitely want to go back to Ireland now and tour all of the spots mentioned!"
— Sarah (4/5)
So Cute!
"Love and Luck is a book I have been anticipating for over a year. After practically devouring Love and Gelato, I instantly sought more from Jenna Evans Welch, queen and master of writing chick-lit books that stem away from the rest and just leave readers feeling all giddy inside. This was such an entertaining read that I cannot stop thinking about to this day. The author's choice of writing this book in the setting of Ireland was honestly so smart; I do not know much about the country and its culture aside from pubs, greenery and four-leaf clovers, however, this book just opened my wanderlust and made me discover that I want to head on a similar road-trip that the characters went on. What made this book so special is the fact that it was not about the romance. It was more than that; it was about family and forming relationships that will last a lifetime, and learning about who we are, instead of kissing and making the 'most of the summer' in that way. Love and Luck was beautiful, and the best part was the relationship between Addie, our protagonist, and her brother, Ian, and the fact that the two of them had severe issues with each other, but spent the summer attempting to work it out in the best way possible: a good old-fashioned road trip across a foreign country, not knowing anything about the path that they are on. And of course, this was also a book about dealing with heartbreak and moving on after someone you once trusted broke that trust. I also loved seeing an appearance by Leena and Ren, and the fact that this book did not take place during the same time as the first book. This was just a burst of entertainment and happiness for me. I am praying deep down inside that this series will continue; imagine if Addie's brothers will have their own stories coming up really soon! Love and Luck was such a lovely read. There was just the right amount of drama, bits of romance, and moments that created a lovely story that every teen should pick up."
