A review by foolishdahlia
Love & Olives by Jenna Evans Welch

5.0

going into this book, i saw that many people commented on the length, and how some parts of the storyline felt unnecessary. i was wary, as it is pretty long for a contemporary novel; however, Love & Olives is probably my favourite one in this series!!

i absolutely adored Olive, the main character. she is this artsy teenager with a hard shell that reminds me of myself. the development of her relationship with her dad was well-done and greatly spaced out, which correlates with the book's length. i personally did not have a problem with how many pages this book has; it felt like i just flew threw it! the storyline of finding the lost city of Atlantis was very entertaining, as well as the exploration of Greece.

this was a great ya contemporary novel, a great summer read, that allowed me to escape to Greece for a little while :)

rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
