I also disliked and really didn’t understand Evan and Ringer when I was a teen, but this reread has deepened my love and understanding for them, which is great. Because of who they are and who they become, they’re tough to empathize with sometimes, but now that I’m older they make so much more sense to me.

Meet author Olivia J Creates at the Kenosha Book Festival 2026 - Chapter One on April 26th!

Olivia J. Bennett is the award-winning and genre-bending author of contemporary, fantasy, and horror. Her most significant work is Casually Homicidal, a YA road trip thriller. In 2018, her flash fiction “Clutching Roses” was awarded a National Gold Medal, and her debut novel A Cactus In the Valley won a Midwest Regional Gold Key, both from Scholastic Art & Writing. Her creative nonfiction and short stories have been published in literary journals and anthologies like Euphemism, Outrageous Fortune, Many Times, Many Ways, and Writing Out Our Twenties. When not creating, Olivia is most likely baking cookies, binge-watching Naruto or Lost with her partner, or cuddling her two cats. She can be found somewhere between the corn and the big blue sky of Illinois.

See you at Studio Moonfall, 5031 7th Avenue, from 10am to 3pm for the April 26th Kenosha Book Festival!
