An aunt’s destination wedding brings Addie to Ireland, where an upsetting past choice and ongoing conflict with her brother Ian complicate the visit. When plans shift, the siblings travel across the country with Ian’s friend Rowan, following an unusual guidebook for the heartbroken. Ireland’s landscapes and the changing journey frame the book’s attention to heartbreak, family ties, and the possibility of repairing a relationship between siblings.

Book overview

A New York Times bestseller

An American teen's unplanned road trip across Ireland may turn out to be exactly what she needs in this "fast-paced, witty" (Kirkus Reviews) novel filled with love, adventure, and the true meaning of family from the author of the New York Times bestselling Love & Gelato.

Addie is visiting Ireland for her aunt's over-the-top destination wedding and hoping she can stop thinking about something 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.
