Suddenly, Lina is uncovering a world of magic and romance.

All Lina wants to do is go back home…until she’s given a journal that her mom had kept when she lived in Italy. But Lina isn’t in the mood for Italy’s famous sunshine or fairy-tale landscape. Travel to beautiful Tuscany with Lina who, still grieving her mother’s death, is forced to spend time with a father she never knew. From Italy to Ireland, love can be found anywhere…. While this book can be read as a standalone, I think it would make for a better read if you check out Welch's other book: Love & Gelato.Set in the far-off and beautiful countrysides of Italy and Ireland, Jenna Evans Welch’s New York Times bestselling romances about life, love, and the true meaning behind the word family are now together in one charming package. I had a lot of fun reading it! It had things I expected, such as tractors blocking the road when Addie is in a time-crunch to get to the airport, and things I didn't expect, like Ian's secret life. I love Ireland and hope to visit it one day. Addie, Ian and Rowan help each other out with their emotional problems while bonding over the less-than-ideal situations, like Rowan's car leaking and Addie missing her flight.

While on the road trip, she and Ian's online buddy, Rowan, follow the book's instructions to help their hearts mend. Addie uses a guidebook to Ireland that's written for people who are heartbroken. Love & Luck is a coming-of-age story full of lively characters, heartbreak and zany situations across the breathtaking Irish countryside. Addie is having none of it and sticks with them, which turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

When Ian and Addie are supposed to go to Italy, Ian tries to ditch her for his pre-arranged road trip across Ireland with an online buddy of his. To stop their fighting, their mother gives them an ultimatum: Since both Ian and Addie are to go to Italy to see a friend, they cannot fight, otherwise, Addie is off of her soccer team and Ian is off of his football team. Addie, Ian and their family go to Ireland later that summer for Aunt Mel's wedding, but the siblings can't stop fighting because Ian wants Addie to tell their mother about Addie's mistake. She doesn't, which leads to her making a big mistake that affects Ian. Ian finds out and warns her to stay away from the guy. In the beginning of the summer, Addie secretly dates a football teammate of her brother, Ian.

Love and luck addie
