Love and Olives

Since we can't travel right now (or at any point in the foreseeable future), why not read about it, read about people doing it, and pretend you're there (especially if you're reading about summer in Greece instead of sulking in the snow like I am today).

Jenna Evans Welch's amazing Love& series has been recently added to with "Love & Olives."

["Liv Varanakis doesn’t have a lot of fond memories of her father, which makes sense—he fled to Greece when she was only eight. What Liv does remember, though, is their shared love for Greek myths and the lost city of Atlantis. So when Liv suddenly receives a postcard from her father explaining that National Geographic is funding a documentary about his theories on Atlantis—and will she fly out to Greece and help?—Liv jumps at the opportunity.

But when she arrives to gorgeous Santorini, things are a little…awkward. There are so many questions, so many emotions that flood to the surface after seeing her father for the first time in years. And yet Liv doesn’t want their past to get in the way of a possible reconciliation. She also definitely doesn’t want Theo—her father’s charismatic so-called “protégé”—to witness her struggle.

And that means diving into all that Santorini has to offer—the beautiful sunsets, the turquoise water, the hidden caves, and the delicious cuisine. But not everything on the Greek island is as perfect as it seems. Because as Liv slowly begins to discover, her father may not have invited her to Greece for Atlantis, but for something much more important."]

IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! I mean, I read 500 pages in 6 hours. Read the entire fucking thing in 6 hours. I barely stopped to eat dinner (I definitely didn't stop to shower--waited until pretty late at night for that annoying task).

The beauty of Greece, the magic of Atlantis, the fluffiest of romance (the glorious, glorious cutesy coupley nicknames--god, like all of my weaknesses).
