The Irish Goodbye

by Amy Ewing

RATING 4/5

From the very first page, "The Irish Goodbye" captivated me with its delightful romance and picturesque Irish setting. The story follows Cordelia James, who takes a vacation to escape her recent loss and ends up in a quaint Irish village. There, she meets Niall, who has returned home to work in his family’s pub after his fiancé betrayed him with his best friend.

The novel is packed with classic romance tropes: the grumpy vs. sunshine dynamic, a romance abroad, a heart-tugging third-act breakup, and a dramatic ex appearance. Amy Ewing handles these elements with finesse, creating a compelling and engaging story.

Cordelia and Niall’s banter is a highlight, adding a joyful spark to the book that kept me hooked from start to finish. Ewing’s vivid portrayal of Ireland adds depth to the story, making it feel like an essential part of their journey.

Overall, "The Irish Goodbye" is a heartwarming read that blends romance, humor, and a touch of drama beautifully. If you enjoy a well-crafted romance with a charming setting, this book is a must-read. Highly recommended for those who love enchanting stories and engaging characters!
