Book Review: "The Olive Grove" by Eva Glyn

⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5

Every book I read and review starts off with the full five stars and the hope that they will still be in place on the last page and this book is no different.

Blimey the text in the prologue is tiny!  I hope it's bigger after that otherwise the first star will be coming off already!

Chapter one was good, but the tiny text is already giving me a headache.  Onto the second chapter.

The second chapter was good too... if a little predictable.  I think I can guess what'll happen before too much longer lol

I hope the author has got written permission to use these well-known brands otherwise they could get themselves into seriously hot water!

I'm really into this book now, so much so that I've forgotten to review the previous two chapters lol  Every one of those five stars are still firmly in place and I'm still hopeful that they'll stay there too.

That's the third big brand name that's been used, I'm guessing without written permission, so unfortunately that's the first star coming off after just under a third of the book  :-(

I'm half way through this book now and another big brand name has been used, but I've already taken one star off for that reason, so we're still at four stars... this book is sooo good though and I'm so glad I discovered it hidden in the depths with all those other books that I've yet to read and review!

Only got 53 pages left to read now and the last couple of chapters must have been absolutely heartbreaking to write but I reckon the author has handled it really well... not so heartbreakingly that you heart feels ripped to shreds but at the same time they have made me emotional too.

Down to 28 pages now and it's taken a few unexpected turns and I was possibly wrong with my assumptions at the start of this review, but at the same time so right in other ways.  I won't spoil it for you, but I can see a 'happily ever after' at the end of this wonderful book.

OMG!  That was a shock I wasn't expecting so close to the end... could there be a sequel in the works??

This is a definite must-read by everyone and the one and only reason I'm not giving it the full 5 stars is 'cos of the use of those brand names is all.
