I completely enjoyed Finding Olivia.  Without a doubt I thought it was a really good read, a bit predictable but still a good read.  I went into this book with an open mind not really sure what to expect.  But sadly, I did still feel let down because the story just didn’t seem to work for me.I think that part of the problem that I had with the story was Trace’s character.  The majority of the book was about him and how he was upset about what was going on, and while I do understand that it seemed like he was all about himself and not caring about what others were dealing with.Olivia’s character, I think she lost some of her backbone in this book.  I felt like she just went along with whatever Trace wanted and was just afraid to stand up to him, even though he needed someone to.  I did like how she was able to deal with everything that was happening, but on the same token, she also didn’t.  I was waiting for a big explosion to happen with her because she kept things bottled up, but that never happened.There were some good twists that were brought into this story, but I also did see them coming.  But I did like that the author had thought to add them.  When it came to Trace’s big surprise for Olivia, I was still left wanting for more because she didn’t really learn that much from them.  I had thought that she would want to know more, but she didn’t.Overall, this was still a good read, and if there is another book in this series in the future, I will check it out.Reviewed by Crystal Marie for Crystal’s Many Reviewers*Copy provided for honest review*
