There was no dull moment at all as I read her and Oliver’s story. One thing I appreciate in a book is an engaging narrator and Emmy was exactly so. “Sometimes there just aren’t enough words to fill the cracks in your heart.” It had everything I could want in a contemporary novel: witty banter, friendship, relatable characters, family dynamics, and a grin-like-an-idiot-because-this-is-too-adorable romance.

When I finally read it, I just totally fell head over heels. Being a huge fan of the author, I was very excited for this one. I never thought any book could replace Audrey, Wait as my favorite Robin Benway book until Emmy & Oliver came along. But is their story still written in the stars? Or are their hearts like the pieces of two different puzzles-impossible to fit together? In Emmy’s soul, despite the space and time between them, their connection has never been severed.
