Emmy & Oliver

Emmy just wants to be in charge of her own life. She wants to stay out late, surf at her favorite beach—go anywhere without her parents' relentless worrying. But Emmy's parents can't seem to let her go—not since the day ten years ago when her best friend, Oliver, disappeared. Oliver needs a moment to figure it all out. He'd thought, all these years, that his father was the good guy. He never knew that his dad had kidnapped him and kept him on the run. Discovering it all at once—and returning to his old hometown—has his heart aching and his thoughts swirling. Emmy & Oliver were going to be best friends forever. They could have been even more, before their futures were ripped apart. To Emmy, despite the space and time between them, their connection has never been severed. But is their story still meant to be? Or are their hearts like the pieces of two different puzzles—impossible to fit together?
