Love & Olives Reviews
I was excited to see another look in the Love & Gelatos series because this is such a sweet and charming series. I especially enjoy reading it during the summer, or just when you need a refresher. Much like the other books in the series, it is written in first person an...
4.5/5 stars Love & Olives is the third book in the young adult contemporary romance series called Love & Gelato by author Jenna Evans Welch. Each of the books in the Love & Gelato series can be read as standalones, and I think they are the perfect books for anyone looki...
**EST 11/08/2019** How did I not know this was a thing?! I LOVED the other two! And this one is in Greece?! Cool! **12/23/20** This one was good, but it wasn't my favorite. That title still belongs to Love & Luck. Real review to come. **EDIT 12/27/20** You can...

This story was a magical, one-way ticket to Santorini, Greece. I felt the heat of the sun and the chill of the waves. I saw the beautiful buildings and the breathtaking sunsets. I was charmed by the bookstore and by Theo. I laughed, I unexpectedly cried, and I finished the book smiling...

*This review contains spoilers* I loved Love and Gelato... as in my first book boyfriend (for contemporary because genres have genres and I don't want to make it seem like I haven't been a simp for all of my 23 years) was Ren. Love and Luck... was a bit of a disappointment...
goodness me. is it getting misty in here or is it just my eyes?? lol. i honestly did not expect this story to pack such an emotional punch. i already knew JW could delve into some deeper topics, but she tends to do it in a light, carefree way. while this did have that airy quality t...
This series has been so much fun to read so far. I am really excited for a Mamma Mia inspired story. The Greece setting also sounds like the perfect backdrop for a YA romance novel. ...
Actual rating: 2,5 Love and Olives is the third book in the series, but it can be read as standalone, because books are companions, and not continuations. The story follows Liv who spends 10 days in Greece with her father who abounded her and her mother when she was 8, and didn&a...

As if I didn?t already want to visit Santorini badly enough, this book made me want to go even more! Love & Olives transports and immerses you into the breathtaking shores of the island. This was the perfect setting for a story about finding yourself and finding your family. Ol...
Rating: 4.5 Stars Nine years ago, Olive's father left and never looked back. That's when she reinvented herself as Liv. But recently, he reached out, and now Liv was on her way to Greece to help her father in his search for the lost city of Atlantis. Though she was struggl...
(4.5) I really enjoyed this installment of the Love and... series. The tension in this book was really well written and I thought some of the more serious themes like abandonment and mental health were handled with grace. I know lots of people have complicated relationships with the...
Have you read Love & Gelato or Love & Luck? Both have been comfort, easy reads for me, and I was so happy to see there?s an additional one, this time set in Santorini, Greece. Love & Olives also touches on mental health and abandonment, and I appreciated the way the a...
Wait... WHAT? Jenna Evans Welch How are you doing this? Love & Gelato- Italy, Love & Luck- Ireland and now Greece, specifically SANTORINI !!! Damn, you seem to read my mind and write books featuring the places I'd love to visit. I can't wait for this book to...
It wasn't horrible, I just wish she wasn't so closed off. I understand that she is young and such, but I feel she could have been a bit more willing to ask questions or listen. Overall, it was an OK read. It wasn't horrible, I just wish she wasn't so closed off. I underst...
I LOVED LOVE & GELATO SO MUCH I CANT WAIT :D ...
Sometimes the soul needs a book like Love and Olives. Jenna Evans Welch has a way of transporting me to wherever her novels are set. Love and Gelato singlehandedly made me long to travel to Italy, and Love and Olives offered the same sort of longing for Greece. There is such a charming...
I loved Love & Gelato so much, and I've been meaning to read Love & Luck, but I'm so excited for this one! I just really need to know if Theo is Greek too, or if he's from a different country. If he's Greek imma be pissed. A Greek naming their son Theo is li...
Continuation of my 2020 road trip listens. So cute, so fun. Maybe a little too long (??), but so enjoyable! ...
3.5 stars I have been religiously reading all the books from love and Gelato series as they come out. I love how vividly detailed these books are, given that they are travelogue kind of books I feel like it is quite important that the reader has to have a clear mind's eye pictu...
?What was lost is now found? Another book with an adorable bookstore ? Theo was my favorite. Santorini was the perfect backdrop for this Atlantis adventure. I LOVED how vivid the descriptions of Santorini were and all the Atlantis info, it made you feel like you were there se...
*We received this book in exchange for an honest review.* Liv Varanakis pretends to be something she?s not. She wants people to like her without knowing much about her life. After all, she pretends that her life in Seattle is perfect. She has her boyfriend Dax, his friends and a l...
Santorini is calling... A long lost father A long lost city of Atlantis What will Olive ?Liv? find and discover This was such a fun read that immersed and transported me to this gorgeous island in the Aegean Sea, in Greece. I loved how Welch wrote Liv?s character and going...
An adventure book! ? Greek myths and the lost city of Atlantis. 26 Things My Dad Left Behind, by Indiana Olive. Except she isn't Olive anymore. She goes by Liv. Liv Varanakis and she doesn't ever, ever talk about her absentee Atlantis hunter father, Nico- he fled to Gr...
If you read and enjoyed Love & Gelato or Love & Luck, you will not be disappointed by this one! Love & Gelato is still my favorite; however, this one is a close second. Liv, Olive, Kalamata, Indiana Olive (nicknames on point!) heads to Santorini to help her father, who s...
I think that of all of the books in this ?series? this was my least favorite, which was disappointing because I was really looking forward to it. I felt that the missing dad trope was repeated, although it was altered a bit. Overall it was a fun enjoyable read. ...
Asafjaksa. That ending. That ending made the whole 500 paged book (which did go a little slow) SO MUCH BETTER. First of all, yes I rated it five stars. Yes, each book that she wrote I gave five stars. No, I promise you they all do not follow a similar plot line. They are so unique and ...
