My name is Evelyn.
I met Devon and instantly fell for him.
Weeks later he fell for my best friend.
Never one to make waves, I watched as they started a life together. I stood by as their family grew, was the maid of honor at their wedding and the godmother to their children. All the while, I was longing for him, watching as he became the perfect husband and father. I was never jealous. I wasn’t even angry that my best friend had the only person I wanted. I had simply resigned myself to living without his love, but still being a part of his life.
Then, one terrible day, my best friend died.
She died and we all struggled to live life without her. Slowly, as the pain eased, our eyes opened and Devon finally saw me.
This is a story about second chances and second choices.
This is the story of how my life changed in the absence of Olivia.
***Author's note This is a stand alone novel. There is no cheating, and it is not a triangle.
The Absence of Olivia Love and Loss Book 1 eBook Anie Michaels
Honestly when I read the unfavorable reviews of this book I should have just pulled it off of my tbr. But then curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to read it so I grabbed it a few months back.You know what they say about curiosity? It killed the cat. Well this killed my heart.
Olivia was a downright nasty bitch to her so called friend, Evelyn. Devon was a downright douchebag. To me, those two deserved each other, but what they didn't deserve was Evelyn. Olivia's so called "friend." I believe with everything in me that Olivia knew the feelings between Evelyn and Devon and yet continued to pursue Devon. She was evil to me with everything she did and made Evelyn watch it all unfold before her eyes a man she would forever love being pulled further and further away from her. Devon was a douchebag straight up, he had feelings for Evelyn yet never had the balls to do what was right, in other words he had his cake and was eating it too. This IS NOT a feel good story, Realistic? Maybe. Happy, No. This book was full of angst and torture, heartbreak and loss. Evelyns emotions were draining and I found myself very angry at Olivia and Devon for treating her as if she didn't matter.. because she did. She gave them her total loyalty and they in turn spit in her face with every action.
In the end Evelyn finds herself and her happily-ever-after and I would have loved to see more of that and less of the torture.

The Absence of Olivia Love and Loss Book 1 eBook Anie Michaels Reviews
I could the passion and love as I read each page. The author truly loves what she does and it showed. No cheating and she held her word. I thought that Evie would get with Devon but once Nate showed up I was like nope she deserves to be happy and Devon just saw her as game all those years. I like the description of Devon and kind of wish since I am reading a digital copy the display would show glimpses of him while she was talking which would make the book even better and play to my imagination even more. This was well thought out and now I must find out what happens with Devon even grace for that matter. Thanks for Sharing your thoughts and turning them into a book.
Well, this book didn’t go quite the way I expected. I am a big fan of Anie Michaels and have read all her books so I thought I knew what I was getting into when I started reading this book, but… I was wrong. Please don’t misunderstand, this is a great book; perfectly written, the story line flows extremely well, the characters are easy to relate to, the story is written so well that it’s difficult to not get lost in their world. You can feel their love, their heartache, their grief and their sorrow. You want to believe that everything will be OK and work out for Evelyn and Devon after they lose Olivia. But then Anie throws in a game changer in the form of one hot contractor by the name of Nate. About half way thru the book I made the mistake of taking a quick peek at the end to see if it was going to end the way I wanted it to…Do Not Do This, just keep reading the book, resist any desire to check out the end before you get there because you will not understand it without first reading everything else first. Reading the end before I got there made me upset and I had to put the book down for the rest of the day; I did pick it up the next day and continued where I left off. The Absence of Olivia ends exactly the way it should considering the heartbreaking sorrow Evelyn and Devon go thru when they lose Olivia. This book is about re-evaluating your life (past, present and future) after losing a very important person in your life and deciding on what changes if any you are going to make to create the HEA you deserve. Sometimes what you thought you wanted isn’t what’s going to make you truly happy in the end. I would definitely give this book 5 stars, no question.
"It's only us now. We're the only ones we can hurt anymore. We can only damage each other."
As soon as saw the cover and read the blurb I knew I had to read this book! The cover is absolutely beautiful!
Here's the blurb
My name is Evelyn.
I met Devon and instantly fell for him.
Weeks later he fell for my best friend.
Never one to make waves, I watched as they started a life together. I stood by as their family grew, was the maid of honor at their wedding and the godmother to their children. All the while, I was longing for him, watching as he became the perfect husband and father. I was never jealous. I wasn’t even angry that my best friend had the only person I wanted. I had simply resigned myself to living without his love, but still being a part of his life.
Then, one terrible day, my best friend died.
She died and we all struggled to live life without her. Slowly, as the pain eased, our eyes opened and Devon finally saw me.
This is a story about second chances and second choices.
This is the story of how my life changed in the absence of Olivia.
As soon as Evie met Devon.. you could feel the sparks between them coming off of the pages. The Absence of Olivia kept me on the edge of my seat the whole book. It is a very angsty read which I love. You can feel the emotions.
Imagine falling for someone only to find out they are together with your best friend? She's your best friend. You aren't going to say a word about how you feel about him because she's your best friend. That is the predicament that Evie is in.
She watches Devon & Olivia fall in love and have two kids.. all the while suppressing her feelings.. Even though Evie never tells Olivia how she feels about Devon.. Evie & Devon know there's a pull between each other. They've known since the day he gave her his shirt.
"His words had so much power the power to save me, the power to kill me, the power to render me completely broken, unable to put myself back together."
Everything changes when Olivia passes away and asks Evie to take care of her family. So she does what she promises. Which I think only makes it harder on both her & Devon.
After fluke encounter with the handy man and a pretty amazing date.. it didn't go how I thought it would.
I love this quote! I can completely agree with Evie and not wanting anyone to touch her camera!
"You want me to trust you with my camera? No one holds my camera." I didn't care if we were on a date or not, I wasn't about to hand him my camera. He could have been the second coming of Christ; he wasn't going to carry my camera."
I'm super glad how this book turned out. It wasn't the HEA I thought it would be. The author really takes you on an emotional rollercoaster!
The Absence of Olivia might be one of my top books of 2015!
Anie Michaels is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors! I'm so glad I found her books!
