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.
Trigger warnings: single parenting, complicated parent/child relationship, mental illness, chronic illness

I think this was my favorite of the series.
Quotes I liked (and yes they are probably are paraphrased):
"God bless the seeker."
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story."

After the disappointment of Love & Luck, Love & Olives was certainly a wonderful reading and it lived up to my expectations after Love & Gelato.
I think I dare to say that I even enjoyed this final instalment more than the first book of this trilogy! It had everything that fascinates me: Greece, mythology, and volcanology; additionally, I read this while on holidays, so it was a perfect pool companion.
More than the expected fluff and friendship, this book also dabbed into more serious themes like parental abandonment and mental illness. This book felt a little heavier because of that, but the end was very beautiful and satisfactory.
