Summary: Olive is many things. Independent. Driven. Loyal. and a little bit adrift. She's ok with still figuring it all out, navigating her world without a compass. But life comes with expectations, there are choices to be made, boxes to tick and--sometimes--stereotypes to fulfil. And when her best friends' lives start to branch away towards marriage and motherhood, leaving the path they've always followed together, Olive starts to question her choices--because life according to Olive looks a little bit different. Moving, memorable and a mirror for every woman at a crossroads, Olive has a little bit of all of us. Told with great warmth and nostalgia, this is a modern tale about the obstacle course of adulthood, milestone decisions and the 'taboo' about choosing not to have children. -- Adapted from page [4] cover
