I share no resemblance to the main character Olive like I first thought. It seems she is annoyed at her friends for choosing to have children because she doesn't want them herself.

I have a lot of praise to give to this book for the message it sends. However, there are a few things that irritated me when I was reading it. I do not believe that Olive and her friends are actually friends. They argue, irritate each other, judge each other, and don’t communicate their feelings or thoughts. I think that these four “friends” will annoy many readers, as I wouldn’t describe them as likeable. Each has their own problems and yet their “friends” are exactly supportive. I think this book is one that will divide opinion and is definitely one you’ll either love or hate.

Olive was a book unlike anything I’ve read before. It covered the conversation of motherhood and expectations so thoroughly and filled me with uncountable emotions that snuck up on me out of no where as I read further and further.
