Oh my goodness this was such a cute, fun romance! I finished it in less than a day because I just didn’t want to put it down! So cute!

First, thank you to NetGalley and the publisher (Avon and Harper Voyager) for the advance reader copy. This was my first time reading a book through NetGalley, and I am beside myself with how much I have enjoyed this process and the ease of getting lost in this story: An Irish Summer.
Any book that highlights self-discovery, travel, romance and the varying depths in relationships from friendship to love is a book I will happily yank off any shelf to read. This particular story hit me in my sentimental core, having honeymooned in Ireland and explored the towns, coasts, hills, people and culture first-hand years and years ago (also a pint or several of "the dark stuff"). :) The main character, Chelsea, was so well-written that I wondered if she was someone I knew, and had conversations with in another life about goals, big dreams, and what we truly want out of it all. Whether you are a planner, a dreamer, cynical or an eternal wanderer in your soul, this story will have elements that tug at your heartstrings and make you wonder what it is that drives you, fuels you, through this crazy life. Is life about a grand plan that can be wrapped in a pretty bow, or is it about moments and experiences we accumulate to give us meaning and purpose? I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who is willing to get lost for a bit, both in the mind and as a traveler to some place new. You will not regret picking this one up. Sláinte!
