I enjoyed Delk’s character, and she truly grows as it progresses. I would recommend this one to those looking for something short and sweet.
I also enjoyed the theme of friendship and the connections Delk makes during her travels. There is a mix of both academics and sightseeing which provide a nice balance and make the story more believable. The book is both cute and serious at times, and reading about the characters’ travels is so entertaining. Her father has just remarried, and her new stepmom is young and pregnant. This book tells the story of a girl who sets off to study abroad in Ireland to escape her life at home. I haven’t read very many books set in Ireland, but I am definitely interested in reading more. The main character is realistic, and the setting is described beautifully. When Irish Guys Are Smiling by Suzanne Supplee is an entertaining read about travel, friendship, and self-discovery. But even with the dreary weather, the reader falls in love with the Emerald Isle and becomes envious of what Delk gets to experience. And the reader can get a taste of the drafty castle when the fire goes out. The setting is realistic with the damp cold that the country can be known for. Supplee paints a beautiful portrait of the lush landscape that is Ireland. WHEN IRISH GUYS ARE SMILING is a sweet addition to the series. And while on their own in a foreign country, they will come to learn much about themselves. A young student wants to leave their own home for some reason. Supplee writes a novel that fits the S.A.S.S. And she acknowledges that Paige isn't trying to replace her mother, but to help her heal. She begins to accept that her father is happy with his new wife. Slowly, by letting her new friends in, Delk realizes that they like her for who she is. While in Ireland, Delk learns a lot about herself that she never knew. Delk and Pather form an instant connection and their friendship grows. Pather is the local farmer's son, and can relate to the loss of a mother. Within the first twenty-four hours in Ireland, she befriends Iris, Lucy, Latreece, Trent, Brent, and, most importantly, Pather. Along with twenty-four fellow students, she will be immersed in Irish culture for the semester. So Delk finds herself in Ireland for the S.A.S.S (Students Across the Seven Seas) program at Tremain Castle. Without her mom by her side, the last thing Delk wants to do is go through the frenzy of debutante preparations. On top of that, it's almost time to start presenting to society. And her new stepmother is going to have a baby. Her mother passed away two years ago, and her father has remarried someone that is only ten years older than she is. Delk Sinclair can't wait to get as far away from Nashville, Tennessee, as she can.
