About book Dear Jon (2000)

Dear Jon by Lori L Otto takes us back over the summer after Jon walked away from Olivia. It's told through Jon's eyes and in letters Olivia sends him. Dear Jon is refreshing, after spending so much time in the heads of first Emi in the Lost and Found Series and then Olivia in the Choisie series - we, as the reader finally get to hear Jon's thoughts, we get to relive aspects of their relationship, in flashbacks and memories. We see how deeply affected Jon is by their relationship, we see so clearly his struggles, how every decision he's made has shaped his life. This was a coming of age story for me, we've seen Olivia grow up but a part of me always felt as though Olivia was more invested in this relationship than Jon was, there's that theory that one person is always more in love than the other, but seeing through Jon's eyes, I can feel the deep love he felt, still feels for her. Dear Jon doesn't take you any further into their story, it's a companion piece of sorts, I've felt in the past that companion books when not written well can take away from the original but I was so invested in finally being given the chance to crawl inside Jon's mind that not only did it not detract from the original but it enhanced it. For lovers of this series, of Lori Otto's work, Dear Jon was a beautiful read, it left me feeling light and hopeful for their future. Best of the series! I struggled with Olivia and Jon in the first two for being a 'bit' spoiled and arrogant. After Livvy's graduation I couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Jon. It was so good to see them both grow during their summer apart. Jon had 3 letters a week to get a glimpse of Livvy finding herself again. We were given a view of how Jon worked through his anger and frustration. I can't deny that I still side with Jack, but I can't wait to see if/how Jon and Olivia fight their way back. I have loved Lori's stories since I picked up the free prequel to her Emi series. I look forward to more.
