Every book by Olivia I have loved, and so when she asked me if I wanted to read The Love Librarian, I jumped at the chance... But before that, I had to read The Romance Library... I wasn't ready for this. 

I loved everything about this book and the fact that, it felt at times, the characters were breaking the fourth wall and explaining exactly how I felt! Everything I loved in a romance book was all in these pages. I loved that we got to go on the adventure with Theo and Jess. I loved how my heart sang for them both, how I cried for them and at the end I was smiling. 

I adored the idea of a romance library, too!!! What a lovely idea, and the fact that it put Jess in and out of her comfort zone at the same time...well, I was here for all of it. Both characters dealing with grief, Jess' ex doing a number on her, Theo's dad being a narcissist, we had a lot to unpack and work through to get these two where they needed to be. It was worth everything. Plus, from Jess' reaction, I think I need to hear some audiobooks narrated by Theo!! 

This is one of my favourite books this year. I just need a book by Olivia. She writes realistic love stories with just the right amount of spice too...and cor that spice 🥵🥵

I am now jumping straight into the Love Librarian. I want to know more about Jane!
