Welp, I realized while I was halfway through this book that I read the series out of order. I was supposed to read Love & Luck first, but I thought this was the sequel. Oh well! I'm kind of glad I did because I wound up liking it the most, I think!
The way that the chapters were written, with Olive's list preceding the story, was really insightful. It helped me to understand her and her father a lot better. I would have liked to see a little more graciousness coming from Olive (or at least a willingness to sit down and talk) earlier on in, but I guess that's what... made it a book rather than a short story.
More than anything, this book made me want to take a trip to Greece. I want to eat the food, smell the sea, and mostly: VISIT THAT BOOKSTORE. Ah!
