Olive
by Emma Gannon
I’m so glad I decided to read this book slowly, I had previously felt like binge reading it but to appreciate these empowering women and their stories, I found it was best to slow down.
Olive, Bea, Isla and Cecily have been friends forever but what this book highlights is how friends can drift apart and all wanting different things for themselves but it also shows just how in times of need, these friends are there for each other despite their own issues.
I think the character I related to most was Cecily & I’m thinking this is because her story is practically identical to my life and feelings.
I definitely felt Bea was more the supportive friend, the one whose shoulder you can cry on and who won’t judge you but I also felt she was on edge around Isla and sometimes Olive.
I sympathised with Isla, I felt her passion and frustration throughout but I think we need a book that highlights her issues but also reflects her feelings that bit more.
Olive was by far the strongest. She knows what she wants and how she wants people to see her but even so, she’s supportive of her friends no matter what happens. I personally want to see more from Olive. Please can we make it happen?!
A definite must read that comes highly recommended to everyone.
