“Waiting On Wednesday”
is a weekly event hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine, and it gives you a chance to spotlight a book that you
are eagerly waiting to be released.
This week, I picked:
Emmy & Oliver
By Robin Benway
Publication Date: June 23, 2015
From Goodreads:
Emmy’s best friend, Oliver,
reappears after being kidnapped by his father ten years ago. Emmy hopes to pick
up their relationship right where it left off. Are they destined to be
together? Or has fate irreparably driven them apart?
Emmy just wants to be in charge of her own life.
She wants to stay out late, surf her favorite beach—go anywhere without her parents’ relentless worrying. But Emmy’s parents can’t seem to let her grow up—not since the day Oliver disappeared.
Oliver needs a moment to figure out his heart.
He’d thought, all these years, that his dad was the good guy. He never knew that it was his father who kidnapped him and kept him on the run. Discovering it, and finding himself returned to his old hometown, all at once, has his heart racing and his thoughts swirling.
Emmy and Oliver were going to be best friends forever, or maybe even more, before their futures were ripped apart. In Emmy’s soul, despite the space and time between them, their connection has never been severed. But is their story still written in the stars? Or are their hearts like the pieces of two different puzzles—impossible to fit together?
Readers who love Sarah Dessen will tear through these pages with hearts in throats as Emmy and Oliver struggle to face the messy, confusing consequences of Oliver’s father’s crime. Full of romance, coming-of-age emotion, and heartache, these two equally compelling characters create an unforgettable story.

Why I picked it:
After I first read the summary, I really wished that I could
read this book sooner than June 23. I wanted to find out how Emmy and Oliver
dealt with all the things that happened over the last 10 years. I also wanted
to see how they reconnected. This book also got bonus points with me right off
the bat just for the fact that it’s recommended for fans of Sarah Dessen. If
