Emmy And Oliver Book Review
I received a review copy of Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway from Simon and Schuster in exchange for a review. This has in no way influenced my thoughts and feelings about the book.
I heard about this book for a while. It sounded interesting and I was hearing really good things about it. So when it arrived in my PO I couldn’t wait to read it.
Emmy & Oliver follows Emmy as she deals with the return of her best friend Oliver after he was kidnapped all those years ago. They were best friends before he disappeared and as the years went on they could have been something more. But when he returns he is a stranger – a very hot stranger at that.

It was a fun read that had me smiling way too much and I am going to admit there was some tears shed as well.
One of the things that I liked about Emmy & Oliver is that it all felt real. I truly liked Emmy as a character, like the story, she felt real. She was fun to read. She had this nature about her that I just loved. She was easy to read.
From the get go we see a strong friendship between Emmy and her two friends. It’s rare that we see such a strong bond in YA, but their friendship is also real. They have their fights but they are also there for each other. But there is something missing. It’s like Oliver is the missing piece of the puzzle.
When he returns everything doesn’t just go back to normal like a snappy romanced novel, it’s real. Everything is awkward, they don’t know how to treat each other, and they don’t really know who the other is. I loved seeing their friendship grow, between both Emmy and Oliver and the group of 4 friends.
The book was honest with everything. The way that the friends interact, the way that Emmy and her family are with each other, how Emmy and Oliver are with each
