Book Review: Olivia by Julie Wright

I received a free copy of Olivia by Julie Wright to review. But in nowise does that affect my opinion of the book or my review of it. First, this is definitely a book written for women. More than likely, I would not have picked it up…well…except to buy it for my wife. It also [...]
