this book was one of my most anticipated books for this year and it was. ? ) so yeah thats the story in a nutshell I'm so so so mad and disappointed. he said so (actually he said it was for a project but who cares ? ) so as every girl who is mad as hell at her father, what does olive do ?, PACK HER BAGS of course !!!, so this time we are in Santorini Greece where Olive is supposedly mad at her father but she is smiling and laughing with him from day 1, and not cheating on her boyfriend with Theo a guy who works with her dad and keeps pushing Olive to do things she doesn't want to do (true love. one day out of nowhere her father sends her a letter telling her she has to leave her whole life and comes to him because. IT WAS ANNOYING !!!! so the story is about Olive, she is 17, HAS A BOYFRIEND ( who is amazing by the way) and her dad left her to look for some mythical land when she was 8 years old. Things that Olive's heart did: 1) it jumped 2) it slowed 3) it got into her throat 4) it burst 5) it shook 6) it broke and I guess if the book went on it would've joint the gymnastics because it did all kind of stuff throughout the book. Because as Liv slowly begins to discover, her father may not have invited her to Greece for Atlantis, but for something much more important.

And that means diving into all that Santorini has to offer - the beautiful sunsets, the turquoise water, the hidden caves, and the delicious cuisine.īut not everything on the Greek island is as perfect as it seems. She also definitely doesn’t want Theo - her father’s charismatic so-called “protégé” - to witness her struggle. And yet Liv doesn’t want their past to get in the way of a possible reconciliation. There are so many questions, so many emotions that flood to the surface after seeing her father for the first time in years. So when Liv suddenly receives a postcard from her father explaining that National Geographic is funding a documentary about his theories on Atlantis - and will she fly out to Greece and help? - Liv jumps at the opportunity.īut when she arrives to gorgeous Santorini, things are a little.awkward. What Liv does remember, though, is their shared love for Greek myths and the lost city of Atlantis. Liv Varanakis doesn’t have a lot of fond memories of her father, which makes sense - he fled to Greece when she was only eight. From the New York Times best-selling author of Love & Gelato comes a Mamma Mia! -inspired tale about a teen girl finding romance while trying to connect with her absent father in beautiful Santorini, Greece.
