Olive is many things. Independent. Driven. Loyal. And a little bit adrift.

She’s okay with still figuring it all out, navigating her world without a compass. But life comes with expectations and big choices to be made. So when her best friends’ lives branch away towards marriage and motherhood, leaving the path they’ve always followed together, she starts to question her choices—because life according to Olive looks a little bit different.

Moving, memorable, and a mirror for anyone at a crossroads, OLIVE has a little bit of all of us. Told with humor and great warmth, this is a modern tale about the obstacle course of adulthood and the challenges of having—and deciding not to have—children.

Olive examines the societal pressures on women who decide not to have children. Olive struggles with her decision not to have children and the impact on her relationship with her partner and her friends who are all either having children, dealing with post partum depression or struggling to conceive. Olive and her friends are all relatable and beautifully voiced by Sian Clifford. I really enjoyed spending time in Olive’s company.
