HOUSE ON OLIVE STREET

When you start reading or listening to this novel, please don't give up on it. IMHO it is well worth finishing to the end, even tho it is hard getting through the beginning of the story. Listened using Audible 03/08/2020.

Loved This Book! Real & Genuine Characters

I am still in shock that I absolutely loved this book. This is a brand new genre for me and I did not expect to like this at all, but I absolutely fell in love with all of the characters as I found them to be real and true. I typically read books in a series because I like to be drawn into the characters and I could say I wish this book became one but it is definitely a fantastic standalone book as well. If you are hesitant to pick this one like I was don’t be, you will not regret it. The performance was outstanding as she captured each characters emotions and personality, I believe just like the author had written them.

Love this book!

This is at least the 3rd time I've listened and I'm sure it won't be the last.
I love how is shows how most women can bond with each other and become family.
We all have struggled in this life and I for one appreciate true friendship.

House on Olive Street

Slightly more difficult to get into the story line at first, but ended very well!

A different side of Robyn Carr

I'm a perennial fan of Robyn Carr's romance. "House on Olive Street" is more a pure women's fiction of the highest quality. A hidden treasure, this title was most enjoyably narrated by Christina Moore.

Pleasant Surprise

Wasn't sure I'd like this book - the synopsis seemed kind of boring. But, the reviews convinced me to try it. I loved this book. The characters are well written, their stories are interesting and well told. And, the conclusion of the stories was satisfying - not just a quick wrap up so the book can end. Thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Women's friendship

Robyn Carr's story of friends dealing with the unexpected death of one of their own. The right book at the right time. I really enjoyed it.

Testimony of True Friendships


My first 5 star rating. I enjoyed every minute of this book . I encourage everyone to listen to this great story that relates the blessings that unconditional love and honest friendship can bring you. I hated for it to end.
