Love & Olives

Love & Olives بقلم جينا إيفانز ويلش ... Liv Varanakis doesn’t like to think of her father much, which makes sense—he fled to Greece when she was only eight, leaving her with just a few painful memories of their shared love for the lost city of Atlantis. So when now-teenage Liv suddenly receives a postcard from her father explaining that National Geographic is supporting a documentary about his theories on Atlantis—and asks if she will fly out to Greece and help—Liv is less than thrilled. When she arrives in gorgeous Santorini, things just as awkward as she imagined. There are so many questions, so many emotions that flood to the surface after seeing her father for the first time in years. Liv doesn’t want to get sucked back into her father’s world. She also definitely doesn’t want Theo—her father’s charismatic so-called “protégé”—to witness her struggle. Even so, she can’t help but be charmed by everything that Santorini has to offer—the beautiful sunsets, the turquoise water, the sun-drenched villages, and the delicious cuisine.
