Olivia Twisted


Olivia Twisted by Vivi Barnes

 
 
Love a retelling?  Try Olivia Twisted.  This book was a cute, modern retelling of Oliver Twist.  This book has it all from romance and computer hacking to a darker side of the foster care system.  I really enjoyed this unique modern day interpretation to a classic tale.  And if you’re still not a fan of this book after you finish it, you will never look at your computer the same!  I really liked this one.

Synopsis:

Olivia

He tilts my chin up so my eyes meet his, his thumb brushing lightly across my lips. I close my eyes. I know Z is trouble. I know that being with him is going to get me into trouble. I don’t care.


At least at this moment, I don’t care.


Tossed from foster home to foster home, Olivia’s seen a lot in her sixteen years. She’s hardened, sure, though mostly just wants to fly under the radar until graduation. But her natural ability with computers catches the eye of Z, a mysterious guy at her new school. Soon, Z has brought Liv into his team of hacker elite—break into a few bank accounts, and voila, he drives a motorcycle. Follow his lead, and Olivia might even be able to escape from her oppressive foster parents. As Olivia and Z grow closer, though, so does the watchful eye of Bill Sykes, Z’s boss. And he’s got bigger plans for Liv…

Z


I can picture Liv’s face: wide-eyed, trusting. Her smooth lips that taste like strawberry Fanta.


It was just a kiss. That’s all. She’s just like any other girl.


Except that she’s not.


Thanks to Z, Olivia’s about to get twisted.
