Olive's Ocean                                 Completed                             read for 4Hrs.

          Olive's ocean is about a girl who is facing many problems in her life. She has a bad relationship with her family, and recently got a piece of the journal of Olive, a shy quiet girl that went to the main character's school and didn't have many friends, who recently died. When she read the page she realized that Olive wanted to be her friend, that they had many things in common, and that she should have been her friend. Wracked by a guilt that she feels is her burden to bear, she goes on vacation to visit her grandma, who she finds is losing her taste and smell. She even gets caught in a stupid love romance that ends poorly for her. the reader will travel with the main character as she tries to come to terms with her life.

          i really like this book because it is so sweet. he main character does so many sweet things for olive, although she is dead. She writes olive's name in chalk at the site where she passed., and brings bottled ocean, the one place that olive wanted to go but never could, to her house.

          this book is so sweet, but could be written better 4.
