Love & Olives
Book by Jenna Evans Welch
This thrilling read is about Liv Varanakis, a girl who one day receives an unexpected postcard from her father inviting her to visit him. Nothing strange, except that her father has abandoned her and she hasn’t heard from him since she was 8 years old.
The theories her father was telling little Liv about Atlantis seem to be of interest to National Geographic, so she curiously decides to accept the offer and flies all the way to Greece. Liv is struggling with all the emotions that meeting her father brings up, and having Theo, her father’s helper, around doesn’t help. In time, however, she realises how much beauty Santorini has to offer and enjoys the summer, at least until she discovers the real reason why she is there.
