Pieces of Olivia was an enjoyable New Adult contemporary
romance. The love interest Preston was very swoony. I also really liked the
secondary characters, especially Olivia’s roommate Kara. Olivia was an okay
character for me. I actually loved her in the beginning, but the way she
reacted to Preston’s “secret” made me like her a little less. I had guessed
what the secret was and I hadn’t really wanted the book to go in that direction
because I think it created a lot of unnecessary weirdness. However, I was still
hooked on the plot and holding out hope for a happy ending for all characters
involved. The pacing was excellent and I never felt like the story dragged. I’d
recommend Pieces of Olivia for NA fans who enjoy a love story with plenty of
angst.
