"Life is not measured by the amount of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away."
5 STARS
Let me just start off by saying I love Micalea’s writing
style. I love the flow and feel of
it. I started reading her books when I
read Unreliable and Undeniable (two amazing 5 star books, you all need to check those out)
Synopsis:
How far would you go to find yourself?
That’s the question that’s been haunting Olivia Owens for years.
All Olivia has ever wanted to do is live and make mistakes, but her
preacher father has made that impossible.
She believes that her years at college will be her ticket into the real
world and her chance to be wild and spontaneous.
But she’s never been able to do it on her own.
At the start of her sophomore year, she only has four things crossed
off her Live List, but that’s all about to change thanks to a chance encounter
with Trace Wentworth. She’s about to
learn that there’s more to this reformed bad boy than just his looks and panty
dropping smile.
Trace can’t explain what it is that draws him to Olivia.
All he knows is that he wants to get to know the girl with the sad
smile but sparkle in her eyes.
When she tells him about her list, he knows that this is his chance to
get to know Olivia Owens. Trace is
determined to show Olivia that she can do all the things she’s ever wanted to
do. So, he begins to help her cross things off her list, even the more
outlandish requests.
What happens along the way is more than what Olivia or Trace ever
expected.
Love, laughs, and a list.
That’s the name of the game when you’re Finding Olivia.
I loved this book.
The story was absolutely awesome, but the main reason I liked it was
because the heroine wasn’t whiney. She
was given the cards she was dealt and instead of complaining about it all the time, she tried to better herself. She stepped outside of her comfort zone,
several times, trying to complete her “live list”. The characters had such strong chemistry and
while they were still young, they didn’t act like total teenagers in a
relationship. It was refreshing to read
this book.
Trace Wentworth- now that is a yummy guy. Tattooed, in to
cars, down to earth, and a total gentleman; he’s the whole package. From the beginning of the book when he was “the
knight in shining armor” till the end he completely stole my heart. There was more to him than just the basic bad
boy persona. Not only were the main characters wonderfully developed, but even the secondary characters were. You will be hoping and wanting more books on the other characters in this book!
Finding Olivia made us laugh, made us tear up and made us swoon. You will fall in love with Olivia and Trace. We give it 5 stars.
