Finding Olivia - by Micalea Smeltzer

All Olivia has ever wanted to do was live and make mistakes, but her preacher father has made that in possible.  She believes that her years at college will be her ticket into the real world and her chance to be wild and spontaneous.......But shes never been able to do it on her own.
At the start of her sophomore year, she only has four things crossed off her Live List, but that's all about to change thanks to a chance meeting with Trace Wentworth.  Shes about to learn that there's more to this reformed bad boy than just his looks and panty dropping smile

I really don't like saying anything negative about about but this one just didn't click, i kind of felt like it was by two different people, the first half of the book quite annoyed me i didn't find Olivia very likable, her character was very contradicting she had a hissy fit over the slightest thing like learning to skate, but she was willing to hand over her virginity to a drunken frat boy in a bathroom so easily, her character just doesn't make sense.  I thought it was such a shame as the rest of the characters were brilliant.  The writing was repetitive it seemed the author just kept retyping the list and Olivia's reason behind it just to bulk out the book.

The second half was very sweet, the author wrote Olivia's character in a completely different way making her slightly more likable and the repetitive of the writing eased up, it was a lot more enjoyable to read.  I think i would have enjoyed it more if it was more consistent to the second half..

It felt long and a chore to read therefore i give Fining Olivia 2.5 out of 5
