I was not prepared for this book to be less of a sequel to the first (though it does pick up immediately after the end of the first book) than to be an exploration of a "Cros-mere" of stories in and around Crosby, ME, including characters from other books by the author, and Olive making on-brand appearances in each other person's story like Nick Fury. But there were enough chapters about her to be a nice farewell for the character.
