![]() ![]() ![]() ** spoiler alert ** As someone who read Welch's previous two works in her "Love and." series (though it's not really a series in the sense you need to read all of them in order), I was so excited to get Love and Olives as an ARC. It wasn't a bad story.I just really had more feelings than the protagonist (until the last couple chapters) and that is a problem for me. But Olive seems to be apathetic and emotionless. Someone I also would have probably raged at right off the bat. ![]() And Theo is somewhat annoying in his always filming behavior. But she just stumbles along after both of them. I was trying to put myself in her shoes, having been ripped away from her summer plans to go spend 10 days with her (until now) absent father. Also, her reaction and behavior towards her father and Theo was strange. Olive was not an unlikeable character, I just did not feel connected to her. Was it on purpose because of her father's condition and how that played out? Or is it the author's writing style.Įither way, it took me a really long time to finish the book or even feel invested in the story. It did not seem as though they were connected but this particular story about Olive felt disjointed. I'm not sure how I feel about this series/author since I have not had a chance to read the earlier two books in the series. ![]() This was more like a 2.5 star rating for me. ![]()
