Olivia Harvard

From Wattpad sensation to published author, Olivia Harvard has stunned readers with her book Handcuffs, Kisses, and Awkward Situations.

The main character—Nora Montgomery—had a goal to stay unnoticed until her high school graduation, which meant staying away from Ryder Collins. However, this plan takes a turn for the worst when the pair are chosen for a police handcuff demonstration, where they are handcuffed together. When the demonstration is over, Nora immediately requests to be uncuffed from the boy she's desperately tried to stray from, but the keys to the handcuffs have gone missing. This leaves them stuck in a situation neither thought was possible.

Now forcibly handcuffed together, Nora and Ryder have to go about their everyday lives, making everything more complicated and so much harder. There is a clear tension in the air between the two, and as the book goes on, secrets are unraveled and confessions are given.

The amount of drama and awkwardness found in this book is actually quite entertaining. Olivia did a great job of capturing what it would be like to be stuck with someone who you both hate and love at the same time while throwing in aspects of what the downfalls and uplifts would be.

My tendency to make awkward situations even more ininappropriate and uncomfortable was such a charming characteristic.
Both main characters—Nora and Ryder—are hilarious and annoying at the same time. It's clear that the two have a history together, and it makes the plot of this book even stronger.

All in all, this book has a flowing plot, lots of character development, and funny quotes that you won't want to pass up on. Olivia Harvard has struck cords with the way she brought this idea to life, and for that, this book is getting a rating of 5/5 stars.… (mehr)
