Sweet Olive by Judy Christie

rebeccasarine's review

3.0

nice light read--I do think that I will read the next in the series so it did capture my attention. I just wanted more from this book. It was sweet and I want to cheer on certain characters and boo others. I want know if the Sweet Olive bushes are real. I would like to smell them. I will say the book drew me in by my senses...I want to see and smell this little community.

This one wasn’t for me. I wanted to enjoy it but the plot, characters, and writing style all missed the mark this time.

Sweet Olive really resonated with me. I love the characters and setting and the sense of community presented. I also appreciate when Christian fiction is subtle, not overtly preachy, and Sweet Olive strikes just the right tone. There were a few moments where I was confused by the timeline, and who was doing what, especially toward the end. But, I'm still giving Sweet Olive 5 stars, because I enjoyed reading the book so much and spending time with these characters. I haven't read an over-300-page book in three days in a long time; Sweet Olive is a wonderful book. I look forward to reading the next book. In the meantime, I'll be looking for Christie's Green series.
