Olive by Emma Gannon
3.0
A wonderful nice easy-breezy read. ‘Olive’ brings up the many different stories of friendship, relationships and motherhood. The characters were wonderful with the story of their friendships and how life can take over when it comes to starting your own families, I found this to be a relatable topic that a lot of readers will be able to relate to.
Gannon’s writing was extremely comforting, I found myself easily reading half the book in the first reading! The story sucked me up instantly and I wasn’t able to put it down.
Whilst I found the story as something like a warm-blanket, it also did seem to fall a little flat, as coming to the end of the novel I did become bored of what I was reading. The story seemed to reach an end before the final page, and the final chapter wasn’t much special. Saying that, I did think having an easy ending was the best way to tie up the knots.
