UGH. I was so ready to love this but what a disappointment. Addie is no Lina, I loved Lina and her story in Italy. Her best friend Addie was alright but I didn’t connect with her. She was a little too mopey and even when she had the right to be, the book kind of shy’s away from telling us what was going on. It waited too long to tell us what happened with Cubby (and what kind of name/nickname is that??). Also, Addie and her brother Ian just fought the entire time but would say how much they care about each other and then go back to arguing again. I get that siblings fight but ugh this was not endearing and I found it so tedious. I thought Ian was too pushy to force Addie to do something she was not ready to do. He also ditches her for his own selfish reasons and causes Addie to miss her flight to Italy to see Lina. On top of that, the book was a little repetitive and the romance was so forced. They were more of platonic friends the whole time and then suddenly they're interested in each other at the end. The only thing I really liked was reading about Ireland and the fact that they road tripped across the country to go to a music festival. I would love to do something like that, I miss those days when traveling and concerts were a thing.. I do appreciate the message too with how Addie comes to terms that she's enough for herself and there was so much potential with that.

In conclusions Love & Gelato was amazing but Love & Luck was not so I’m quite disappointed. Hope the next book is better.

Catherine Cervone Completely agree!


Brianna Hobdy I feel the same way� the storyline just kind of dragged, along with Lina arriving in the last 20 pages of the book. Love and gelato had my hopes high but love and luck was such a let down.
