The third book in this series is really a stand alone. Olive doesn't really know her dad because he left when she was 8. She has moved around with her mom and now lives with her stepdad and younger step brother and her mom is pregnant. Olive has re-imaged her self into Liv, but can't be honest with her friends and boyfriend about her past self. As Liv has plans for the summer they are interrupted by a postcard and plane ticket to visit her father in Greece! She does NOT want to go, but her mother insists. As she travels to Greece and meets her dad, she can't help but feel anger, insecurity, and sad about missing out on the relationship with her dad all those years. She meets Theo, whose mom owns a bookshop with her dad. Theo tries to help Liv see that her dad never forgot her and throughout the book Liv learns/ remembers about her dad and why he left in the first place.
Good book, but by this one for me was a little formulaic. It would be fine for any middle school student to read.
