Review

Langdon has crafted a charming reimaging of the classic story Oliver Twist. There is a perfect balance between historical details, solid pacing and strong character voices. Readers may find this book to be a bit more hopeful than the original story by Charles Dickens, but the plight of the poor in London in the 1800s is still apparent. It is easy to root for the characters, particularly the intelligent and kick-butt heroine, Olivia. If you are looking for a historical tale full of adventure, twists and a bit of romance, this is one to check out. (Romantic Times)Vivacious and lovely, 18-year-old Olivia Brownlow is a highly eligible young woman in London's 1859 society. Before her long-lost uncle took her in, she grew up disguised as a boy named Oliver, who became a street rat in a gang run by the Artful Dodger. Olivia can't forget her origins, and while snooping around during a formal dinner, she comes upon another sneak--the eye-catching gentleman named Jack MacCarron, who was also about to lift jewels from their owners. Olivia recognizes Jack as the Artful Dodger but keeps her identity from him. Though it's love at first sight, the two wrestle with their unsuitable affection and unsavory pasts. Toss in Olivia's impending engagement to a friend for whom she feels only platonic love, and a powder keg of a romantic triangle develops. The story's breathlessly paced, quick-witted adventures offer more twists than a Shakespearean comedy of errors, as assumptions, secrets, etiquette, competition, and sexual tension create one ridiculous situation after another. Written in language tailored to the setting, the occasional modern turns of phrases feel as if one's corset briefly has been relaxed. This clever retelling of Dickens' Oliver Twist is perfect for readers who love romance, adventure, historical settings, and heroines who can kick butt in formal gowns. -- Jeanne Fredriksen (STARED REVIEW) (Booklist)'A brilliant reimagining of Oliver Twist! The prologue hooked me immediately. Langdon deftly plunges the reader into Dickens's world of loveable orphans fighting to survive on the darker streets of London. Their plight is set in stark contrast to the sumptuous backdrop of Victorian England's high society. Olivia Twist deals with treachery in both worlds and proves a spirited heroine worthy of admiration, while Dodger is the perfect bad boy hero. Sigh, I've fallen in love.' (Kathleen Baldwin, bestselling author of A School for Unusual Girls)'Captivating from the very first page to the very last! Olivia Twist is an enchanting story, brimming with eclectic characters, intrigue, and a romance that is certain to leave you weak at the knees. Not to be missed!' (Jen Turano, USA Today Best-Selling Author)'When I learned Lorie Langdon made a foray into historical romance, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. And she didn't disappoint. Langdon expertly balances historical detailing and plot, the voice sparkles, and the characters were so endearing, I couldn't wait to escape into this book each night. Lively and transportive, Olivia Twist is a romantic and clever take on a classic that will leave readers yearning for more from this author.' (Heather Webb, author of Last Christmas in Paris)'Delectable romance, spine-tingling danger, and an indomitable female lead make Lorie Langdon's Olivia Twist an addictively exquisite romp. One that kept me up far past midnight!' (Mary Weber, author of the Storm Siren Trilogy and The Evaporation of Sofi Snow)Olivia Twist was born an orphan. At the doctor's behest, she was raised as a boy and lived her life on the street disguised as such under the tutelage of Jack, the Artful Dodger, who was none the wiser of his mate Ollie's true identity. Now, at 18 years old, Olivia Brownlow has taken the name of her adoptive uncle, whom she met in a heist gone awry. Leaving her past behind, except for a gang of street-dwelling orphans whom she aids, Olivia takes a spot in London's high society and is on the brink of engagement to the rich bachelor Max Grimwig. However, when she meets Jack MacCarron, who is none other than her childhood mentor--the Artful Dodger--with his own new name and benefactor, Olivia's plan to marry well is derailed and their shared past proves irresistible to both of them. Yet when Olivia's orphans are threatened by a turf war with the nefarious Monks, she feels cornered into the only means available to save them. With many twists and turns, some less-than-plausible and many slightly too-tidy, Langdon of 'Doon' series fame serves up a delightful, action-packed historical tale. Perhaps most enjoyable for those familiar with Oliver Twist in its original literature and Broadway musical forms, this title is nonetheless a compelling, gender-flipped romp through Dickensian London. VERDICT An additional purchase where historical fiction or romance are popular. --Brittany Drehobl, Morton Grove Public Library, IL(School Library Journal) (School Library Journal)

My only problem with this book is the branding. I loved this reinvention of the characters from Oliver Twist. I haven't read the original but I know the basic storyline and am familiar with the main characters. I loved the plot, the characters, the fantastic writing. And I loved the swoony romance between Olivia and Jack. But that is also where my problem with how this is marketed begins. There is mild swearing by a few of the characters, many suggestions at being intimate or having been, and in one particular scene some heavy kissing takes place which leads to outer clothing being removed and for a few paragraphs, I wasn't sure the character would escape with her virtue in tact. (Mostly because of many suggestions leading up to this). My YA preferences would cause me to hesitate recommending this for high school teens. But comparatively to other secular YA, this may be squeaky clean. I'd prefer a New Adult label personally. That being said, I think adults would love this too, especially if you like historical romance. I loved the strong connection between the two main characters and I understood immediately why they were drawn to each other. I felt the chemistry and sparks which at first seems like just physical attraction but is rooted in something deeper. A mutual understanding from their past history and a mutual need to belong somewhere. So despite my average star rating (only because I have some objections to the clean tag,and believe other like-minded parents would too) this would be a re-read for me. I look forward to revisiting Olivia and Jack's tale and am glad I purchased my own copy for just such a purpose.

This book is amazing. I have been stuck in a slump of not being able to read anything besides textbooks during college, and this has gotten me out of it in a massive way. I heard about this from friends who were reading an advance copy, and decided to pre-order because it just looked that good. And it did not disappoint in any way. Romance, mystery, and adventure all bundled into one beautiful package. I am a fan of musical theatre as well, and was very happy to see this book was inspired partly by the musical Oliver. This made me love it even more! I cannot wait to read the Doon series by Lorie Langdon now. I am thrilled o have found an exciting new author and cannot wait for more from her.

If I hadn't heard good things about this book first, I would not have read it because I disliked the first Doon book. But, Olivia Twist? Wow, history, adventure, romance, and mystery done well. Kept me turning the pages and made me laugh, too. Makes me want see Oliver! and read Oliver Twist.I especially appreciated the rich words the author uses. I daresay folks might learn a new word or two.For parents wondering, there is some sexual tension and kisses, but nothing more. (Spolier Alert: She continues to see and kiss Jack while engaged to Max, but she realizes this is wrong and stops.)

I’m a pretty avid historical fiction reader, so this book was right up my alley. I honestly haven’t found a lot of YA (young adult) historical fiction that I’ve enjoyed, though. They seem to be either slow paced or dull. Olivia Twist is neither of those things, in fact it will suck you in within the first chapter, and it doesn’t even let you go once you’ve finished the book! When I closed the book, I let out a sad sigh because I knew it was a stand alone and I want more (read that last part like Ariel sings it).Character development is great and the world building is phenomenal. While reading, I felt like I was there, walking the streets with Olivia, hiding, helping her lost boys. I slowly fell in love with Jack as Olivia found herself spending more time with him.Lorie Langdon has created an amazing book that will transport you back to the London of gas lamps, old street gangs, high society, petticoats and parasols. My only regret was reading the book so fast - I wish I would have savored it more!

A fun YA romance based on “Oliver Twist,” but with Oliver being an 18-year-old girl named Olivia. A nice “twist” on the story to appeal to female readers. Interesting set up – Olivia disguising herself as a boy to fit in with the Artful Dodger and his gang until she’s rescued by her uncle. Now, a proper young society lady – at least on the surface – she can’t forget her childhood and all those poor orphans on London’s mean streets. There’s definitely chemistry between her and the handsome young man she recognizes from her former life. Olivia is feisty, fearless and has a big heart. And Jack is much more than just the broad-shouldered, blue-eyed rake he appears to be. Quite an enjoyable read even though I’m not a YA.

Olivia Twist was completely enchanting and it was everything I expected. Jack and Olivia were both characters that I loved right from the beginning. Olivia was brave but she was also scared and that made her realistic. The setting of the book was one of the main things I loved about it. Everything was so descriptive which made it easy for me to picture the scenes. Any scenes that Jack and Olivia were in together were great. They have this witty banter that makes it so much fun to see their relationship grow and become more than their dependence and friendship as children on the street was. Jack is someone that has flaws and has always made his living as a thief. But the writing and his personality still managed to persuade me to love him and see things as he would have growing up on the streets of London. Also, the way Olivia cared for the orphans and her will to do whatever was necessary for them made me immediately like her.It's exciting and captivating and the second I finished it I wanted to read it all over again.
