Lois Lowry recommended Olive, Again in Books (curated)

"I loved Olive first time around, and I love her even more as she beats back increasing old age with sarcasm, rage, and a noble, unflinching honesty. I live in Maine, as Olive does. I’d give anything to hear her thoughts of the hoarding of toilet paper. I don’t think for a minute she’d welcome any overture of friendship from me, even in these tough times; still, I admire her for her caustic and courageous observations. I wanted this book to go on and on."

"Monsieur Hulot is clumsily precise; the silence and precision of the gags are avant-garde. When the vacation ends in this film, you’re left feeling like you’ve met a good friend. Fishing with John can be watched on so many levels at the same time. It avoids becoming too meta and relishes all of the facets of friendship, comedy, and good old-fashioned fishing. The soundtrack alone transports us back to the calming, hilarious alternate universe of John Lurie’s brain: “They woke up with sores and boners.”"

In the beginning, I didn't care too much for Jayne. Her sense of humor was top notch, but her lack of respect for authority figures really turned me off. Thankfully she wasn't in school long enough for me to focus that much on this flaw. Because of Jayne's strong friendship with Tony (though it started out rather unconventional), I was able to appreciate her personality. I was really craving a story that had more to it than just a plain romance and I was not disappointed!

Wow.

I have adored this series since the first book. So much happens. Love. Friendship. Death. So much time passes.

I loved all the Nephilim, all for different reasons, and I have a feeling this story will stay with me for a while.

A classic tale of good versus evil with a brilliant plot and characters. I loved the ending, some bits were sad and others were lovely. The romance was uplifting.

If you haven't read this series yet, then I definitely recommend you do.

AMAZING!
