Rating: ****

The book I am reviewing is Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch. The story follows a teenager named Addie as she and her family embark on a trip to Ireland. The trip starts off with Addie in a negative headspace, recovering from a broken heart and in a fight with her brother Ian. However, once they arrive in Ireland, she finds herself on an unexpected road trip with Ian and his friend Rowan. Along the way, the siblings are able to mend their broken relationship and learn to open up to one another again, as well as take in all of the beautiful sights that Ireland has to offer.

This is a fun and adventurous read for anyone who loves to travel, as Addie herself loves to put herself out there and explore cultures and worlds that are different from her own. The story is also very relatable because it talks about the strength and love of family/sibling relationships, even through the ups and downs of life.
