Love & Olives
Love & Olives | Jenna Evans Welch
From the New York Times bestselling author of Love & Gelato comes a Mamma Miainspired tale about a teen girl finding romance while trying to connect with her absent father in beautiful Santorini, Greece. Evie Varanakis doesnt have a lot of fond memories of her father, which makes sensehe fled to Greece when she was only eight. What Evie does remember, though, is their shared love for Greek myths and the lost city of Atlantis. So when Evie suddenly receives a postcard from her father explaining that National Geographic is funding a documentary about his theories on Atlantisand will she fly out to Greece and help?Evie jumps at the opportunity. But when she arrives to gorgeous Santorini, things are a littleawkward. There are so many questions, so many emotions that flood to the surface after seeing her father for the first time in years. And yet Evie doesnt want their past to get in the way of a possible reconciliation. She also definitely doesnt want Theoher fathers charismatic so-called protg锗to witness her struggle. And that means diving into all that Santorini has to offerthe beautiful sunsets, the turquoise water, the hidden caves, and the delicious cuisine. But not everything on the Greek island is as perfect as it seems. Because as Evie slowly begins to discover, her father may not have invited her to Greece for Atlantis, but for something much more important.

I loved this book. I actually wanted more about these characters, I didn't feel like their story really had come to an end. It was a cute story, one that actually made me tear up a little at times.

Ugh, my heart went out to Liv this entire book. She definitely needed the step outside her defense mechanisms, but would it have killed someone to properly sympathize with her? #yalit #yaromance

I liked that this book focused on a relationship between daughter & father as well as a romantic relationship. However, it felt a bit long at times, especially compared to the first two of the series. Still a pick, though! I‘m most intrigued by the outdoor cinema that‘s mentioned in the book. I‘m dying to go to Greece now! 🇬🇷

Barrettck I also wanted to add that I wish this book had a nod to the characters from the first two books! Just like how Love & Luck included Lina & Ren from Love & Gelato. 2y

Finished this audio awhile ago but haven't posted. This is the third book this this Love And series and I think the longest. I can totally see this one as a movie. Loved the story, seeing Liv meet and get to know her dad again after 9 years. I enjoyed her encounters with Tao. Really enjoyed this book. Did make me tear up!

This one is not too romance-centered but I am here for the self-growth, and I love the father-daughter relationship. #ya #contemporary

This was an interesting story about Olive and her dad. Of the three books Jenna Evan‘s Welch has written, this would be my second favorite behind Love & Gelato. Finding the truth of the past can happen at any age. Olive is asked to spend 2 weeks with her father in Greece though she hasn‘t seen him since she was 8. So much can change in a short time.

I didn't like this quite as much as the first in the series (this installment is annoyingly *too long*), but I liked it a bunch more than the second.

Possibly the best part of the book was confirming with one of my besties some of the behaviors of Greek men in public. 💙 😂

Just got word my school is closed today due to the snow and ice storm from yesterday. Today was supposed to be my last day before Winter Break. Which means I get to start my break one day early. Lots of reading is going to be done between now and Jan. 4th. But right now I am listening to the tagged book while I work on some #listylove mail!

Bookwormjillk Yay! Enjoy! How much snow do you have up there? 3y
Lovesbooks87 @Bookwormjillk maybe 4 or 5 inches. Haven‘t measured it yet. But then we got a lot freezing rain on top of it. Our road hasn‘t even been touched yet so it is really icy! Did you guys get any snow? 3y
AmyG Snow day!!! 🙌🏻 3y
RonniKlein Oh yay! You got your snow day! 3y
Bookwormjillk @Lovesbooks87 snow then rain then ice overnight 🤷‍♀️ 3y
