About this listen

*The audiobook includes an exclusive interview between Emma Gannon and Dawn O’Porter*

The debut novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author, Emma Gannon.

‘Thoughtful, funny, and honest’ Elizabeth Gilbert
‘Brilliantly observed’ Sophie Kinsella
‘It'll give a voice to countless women’ Marian Keyes

Olive and her friends have shared every milestone.

From first loves and first heartbreaks to flatshares and the first scary steps into the real world, they’ve been through it all – together.

But in the maze of life, through the winding paths that lead to different choices and different futures, will the bonds of friendship hold strong when Olive needs them most?

Moving, memorable and a mirror for anyone at a crossroads, OLIVE is a love letter to the life raft of female friendship and reminds us how, with a little courage, we can all follow our own paths.

White middle class story - funny at times

Not a bad story just got tired with the lack of diversity of thought or voice from the characters. How do people get away with books set in present day London with such conformity and blandness is worth exploring.

Appreciate the attempt at normalizing life choices that differ from expectations.

what a great book!!

I absolutely loved this book! As a 33 year old myself who struggles with the question whether or not to have kids, I found this so relatable and comforting. I finished it in 2 days! I couldn't stop listening. The narrator was also brilliant!!
I absolutely recommend this book

Had so much fun listening to this reading!

Excellent writing and narration.
I love how diversity of all stages of women’s life is represented in this book. The realistic narration definitely added so much thrill to the book.
