![]() ![]() She comes from a dysfunctional family where her father played yo-yo with her and her mother’s feelings all throughout her childhood and she had to learn early on to detach herself emotionally. But I still wanted a happy ending for her because she is not a bad person. ![]() ![]() Her actions had to catch up with her eventually. We cringe at the things she does and the decisions she makes but then she does something and you realize, “Crap, I’ve done that!” I couldn’t sympathize with her for most of the book because all the things that happen to her, all the unhappiness she experiences are her own doing. She is the imperfect heroine that we love and hate. I can’t say I am an Olivia or that I have even met an Olivia in my lifetime but she is really in all of us, perhaps in not such an amplified form but nonetheless she is in there. It’s not too often that one finds a story that appeals to you on so many levels and a heroine that draws you so much into her psyche. ![]()
