Love & Olives

piaaa shared a tip "To me the book was boring and the storyline was repetitive. I found the main character, Olive/Liv just very bland and sadly I felt there wasn't any chemistry between the characters."

withered_roze shared a tip "This book was so amazing. While there was some romance and drama, this book really highlighted the importance of relationships, whether they are long distance or short. Maintaining relationships are hard, especially for those with mental health. I’m really glad this book touched up on that. Overall, this book was beautifully written, and shows how mental health can impede on our lives. Relationships, work opportunities, etc. All these things may become more difficult to maintain, but that’s OK."

laurenmr shared a tip "I enjoyed reading this book and it had some really enjoyable moments. The two main characters were sweet and I loved hearing about Olive’s art, Theo’s love of filming, and Greece. However, some parts were problematic. The dad just wasn’t a good parent regardless of any mental health issues. The mom was 100% as far as parents in books go. The ending wasn’t really as resolved as I wanted and I feel like Olive really is going to need therapy. Overall, it’s a quick and cute read."

herprincepotter_p shared a tip "I love this series because yes there’s some romance between the main character and the love interest but I like the focus on the main character healing from an event in their past."

natalie_5197 shared a tip "Great book! Loved the characters, especially Theo! Loved learning and discovering the city of Santorini as well about Atlantis! Talks about discovering oneself and mental illness. A very underrated book."

bookwormrae shared a tip "I just started and finished this book today and it was so good! There wasn’t a lot of romance but it had a really nice story line about forgiving and finding yourself."

kady_killion shared a tip "What can I say? Love and Gelato which is by the same author used to be my favorite book but now it's this one. It is a romance but it's not the helpless damsel in distress. She goes to Santorini to film an Atlantis documentary. She hasn't seen her Dad in years, ever since he abandoned her and her Mom. Then there's the love interest, Theo. They go from not friends, to friends, to love interests. It's not super spicy. This also goes to say that I don't like romances but I LOVE this book."

drea_f_5185 shared a tip "personality heavy but def one of my favorite drama books. the plot twist at the end was not what i expected but the ending left me wanting more in terms of her relationship with her family, her father in particular. but the ending was satisfying in terms of the slow burn of the relationship between the mc and the love interest"

chloe_9690 shared a tip "This is one of my favorite books. The main character, Olive or Liv goes through the turmoil of balancing the healing her relationship with her father and the budding romance between her and her now roommate. This beautiful story takes place in Greece, the setting is intricately described by Jenna Evans Welch. This is a great read if you enjoy books that take place in gorgeous and faraway places."
