Lucky Leap Day

Lucky Leap Day by Ann Marie Walker is a fast-paced, delightful book set in Dublin and Los Angeles. It’s full of laugh-out-loud moments and a sweet romance. It has a swoon-worthy Irishman, a lovable dog named Oscar, and lots of cute moments. Aspiring screenwriter Cara Kennedy took a quick long weekend trip to Dublin. She was supposed to go with her boyfriend, however, they broke up shortly before the trip. Unable to give up on a trip to Ireland, Cara goes anyway, knowing she might end up seeing her ex who will be there on business. She immediately meets Finn her Uber driver and he takes her on an insider’s tour of Ireland. Later, on the night before she’s supposed to go home, she meets Finn in a local pub and they have a wild night together. The next morning she finds out she is married to Finn, and she’s the one who proposed as it was Leap Day, and it’s a tradition in Ireland for the woman to propose to men on Leap Day. Some of the situations and decisions made by these characters are a bit far-fetched, but my advice is to just go with it! This isn’t serious literary fiction, but a fun, heartwarming, and charming story of love, and finding out what makes you happy. Also, there are a lot of LOL moments. The author did an excellent job of the dialogue, making Finn’s Irish accent evident in the writing. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fun, sweet romantic comedy I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
