July 2016 LibraryReads Pick

The librarians have spoken! The Last One is a LibraryReads top ten pick for July. Deeply honored to be included on this list.

Publishers Weekly Review

Publishers Weekly has given The Last One a starred review! 

“Fueled by brilliantly intimate and insightful writing as well as an endearing and fully realized female lead, this apocalyptic novel draws its power from Zoo’s realizations about society and herself as she struggles to survive long enough to somehow make it back to her home...”

— Publishers Weekly: “The Last One”

Kirkus Review

The Last One's first review has arrived, and I'm thrilled. Thrilled and grateful.

“Oliva has written a book that is clever in the best sense: she is able to skewer reality show culture and dystopian tropes while never letting concept or critique become more important than a good yarn...”

— Kirkus Reviews: “The Last One”

PLA 2016

Announcing my first appearance as a my-debut-novel-is-almost-out-in-the-world author! The good people of the Public Library Association have invited me to their 2016 conference. I'll be heading to Denver on Thursday for an afternoon meet-and-greet at the Booklist booth and an early evening reception. So looking forward to meeting my fellow featured authors and, of course, our hosts and conference attendees.
