review 1: Had so much potential, and I would have liked it a lot more if it was longer, and more development had been created. However I didn't mind this, it was okay and easy to read. It was just too mainstream NA, nothing set it aside from all the other books that revolve around the same plot. If this was the first of the genre I had read; I would have enjoyed it more, however after reading too many books just like it, I was underwhelmed. It wasn't bad though, I'm just a little nonchalant.
review 2: ***4.5 Stars***Pieces of Olivia is the first book I have read from author Melissa West. I was really impressed with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from her. Pieces of Olivia is a story about Olivia Warren, a college student who is trying to start a new life.... more She becomes close to her new roommate Kara and struggles in making a new friendship with Preston (Kara's hot best friend). Besides the stress of moving to a new city Olivia is also trying to recover from a devastating loss. I felt the beginning of the story went slow and it took some time to finally know about Olivia's past. I wish her past was explained earlier in the book but once it is revealed I was able to get a better understanding of Olivia. I cried when she cried. I had the same doubts she was feeling. I formed a connection with Olivia. Olivia is dealing with so much pain yet she wasn’t whiner. She does the best she can to heal and move forward which I really admired. I also loved the supporting cast, Kara and Preston. But I especially loved Rose, Olivia’s quirky therapist! Rose’s technique was unconventional but is perfect for Olivia. I had some "ah ha" moments with their sessions that I can apply in my life. I was amazed of how well this was written.Pieces of Olivia deals with a serious subject but I didn’t feel emotionally drained (which I was worried about). This was an uplifting story of healing, friendship, love and hope. I can’t wait to read the next book, Kara’s story. less
