This week, I'm featuring a book that I've had my eyes on for a while. It's by author Robin Fenway. I've never read any of her books before, but this one seems like a good place to start for me. Now to wait until June... although I'm hoping to get an ARC of it.
Title: Emmy & Oliver
Author: Robin Benway
Publisher: HarperTeen
Expected Publication: June 23, 2015
Synopsis:
“We stayed and looked and waited for Oliver to come back, as if our love was a beacon that he could use to light his way home, to crawl up the sides of the earth and back through his front door, his shirt tag still sticking up in the back. After a while, though, after years passed and pictures changed and false tips fell through, it started to feel like the beacon wasn’t for him anymore. It was for those of us left behind, something to cling to when you realized that scary things could happen, that villains didn’t only exist in books, that Oliver might never come home. Until one day, he did.”
When Oliver was seven years old, his father kidnapped him in a custody dispute, spiriting him across the country and away from his family and his best friend, Emmy. Ten years later, Oliver is found and returns home, reuniting him with Emmy once again. But is their story still meant to be? Or are their hearts like the pieces of two different puzzles—impossible to fit together?

ReplyDeleteI also have a $30 amazon giftcard giveaway going on, so check it out.
It does look good! I can't wait to read it! :)

OMG. I love them too, but there are getting to be so many of them now. lol
DeleteI've never heard of Robin Fenway to be honest and I get some Nicholas Sparks' vibe? Maybe I'm wrong LOL Hope you get the ARC because yes, waiting until June is complete torture
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of her until a few months ago when I saw her come across my Tumblr feed. I entered to win an ARC of it on there, but I don't think I won. I'm just going to email Harper about one or wait to see if it goes up on Edelweiss.
DeleteI've read all her books and am really excited for this one. You can read Audrey, Wait while you are ... waiting :)

I'm definitely going to check out her other books while I'm reading, and I might just have to start with that one! I'll let you know what I think of it! :)
DeleteOh wow, this sounds so good! Plus, I love the name Oliver, so I'm already hooked, haha! xD
ReplyDeleteI agree. Oliver is just such a fun name. It's kind of old-fashioned, but still cool. :)
DeleteSounds like this could be a really emotional read. Great pick! Thanks for visiting my WOW earlier.
ReplyDeleteIt does, but I like books like that!
DeleteAnd you're welcome! :)
