Utterly brilliant. It doesn't seem to be everyone's cup of tea, but Santa Olivia was such an interesting story of survival that I was addicted all the way through. The characterization was incredibly strong, and I ended up crying my eyes out on more than one occasion, but any book that can get me to genuinely care about the outcome of a sport I have no interest in is definitely doing something right. Most of all I treasure the romance that developed throughout the story and the way things ended up in the end, for a lot of reasons, but I still find myself thinking about it a lot, even months later.
