The Impossible Story of Olive in Love
The Impossible Story of Olive in Love | Tonya Alexandra
3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
A break-out quirky novel that will appeal to readers of Rainbow Rowell. I get that I'm impossible. I get that I'm mad and rude -- perhaps even a drama queen at times. But you'd be impossible if you lived my life ... You'd be impossible if you were invisible. Shakespeare was an idiot. Love is not blind. Love is being seen. Plagued by a gypsy curse that she'll be invisible to all but her true love, seventeen-year-old Olive is understandably bitter. Her mother is dead; her father has taken off. Her sister, Rose, is insufferably perfect. Her one friend, Felix, is blind and thinks she's making it all up for attention. Olive spends her days writing articles for her gossip column and stalking her childhood friend, Jordan, whom she had to abandon when she was ten because Jordan's parents would no longer tolerate an 'imaginary friend'. Nobody has seen her -- until she meets Tom: the poster boy for normal and the absolute opposite of Olive. But how do you date a boy who doesn't know you're invisible? Worse still, what happens when Mr Right feels wrong? Has destiny screwed up? In typical Olive fashion, the course is set for destruction. And because we're talking Olive here, the ride is funny, passionate and way, way, way, way dramatic. This story is for anyone who's ever felt invisible. This story is for anyone who sees the possible in the impossible.

THE IMPOSSIBLE TALE OF OLIVE IN LOVE by Tonya Alexandra is a contemporary YA with a dash of speculative fiction. The premise and its consequences were well thought out, but there were some unpleasant elements that meant the book ultimately wasn't my cup of tea.

Tricky to read a book that is a pile of photocopied text. Not even stapled or bound. But I am loving the laconic voice of 17 year old Kirby. Olive from the other book, conversely, is bitter and snippy. Two new Aussie titles due out April. #reading #preview
