Wow 😍 Entre o primeiro livro da trilogia e este não consigo escolher o meu favorito

Foi uma leitura incrível 💜 Amei o facto de se basear numa relação quebrada entre pai e filha e toda a história por detrás e o caminho percorrido no sentido de reparar essa relação

Também gostei imenso da relação da Olive e do Theo e do seu friends-to-lovers 💕 toda a tensão, todos os olhares, a química, as conversas... adoro quando as amizades começam a evoluir para algo mais!

Super cute story that is more about a father and daughter relationship than it is a YA romance. It takes place in Santorini, and I was here for all of the Atlantis lore.

“Trust your instincts. The world is run by people who have no idea what they’re doing.”

I absolutely loved every book in this collection but Love & Olives was by far my favorite. I did not want this book to end. I’ve realized I LOVE reading about other countries and cultures and these were so well written and cute. I was not expecting what happens at the end of this one but following Olive throughout the book and seeing her learn so much more about how affected she’s been by her dad was incredible. I loved how it showed her growth with re-evaluating her past and seeing her dad in a whole new, albeit heartbreaking, way. Also Theo filled my heart and soul

I had just as much fun reading this book as I did her previous book of Love & Luck. I loved being able to tag along with Olive to visit Greece, imagining the Bookstore and the food sounded delicious.

I highly recommend this book which is equal parts sweet, hard hitting and surprising.
