Robin Benway has written characters I felt like Id known forever, and was so sad to see go. A must read. -- Morgan Matson, author of Since Youve Been Gone"Robin Benway writes with her full heart. Emmy & Oliver is a genuinely sweet and funny novel bursting with the inextinguishable forces of love-between parents and children, distant and inseparable friends, new and reunited lovers." -- Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of Isla and the Happily Ever After"Benway examines split loyalties, the impact of confessionals, and how broken bonds can be mended... Benways intriguing premise and honest tone are a winning combination as she movingly portrays the growing trust between her characters." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"At times heartfelt, funny, irreverent, and ultimately satisfying... a good choice for fans of Stephanie Perkinss Anna and the French Kiss or any of Sarah Dessens novels." -- School Library Journal"Benway fearlessly examines the effects of loss and return from every perspective... Hope, confusion, frustration, and love coexist without shame as teens and parents come to grips with the realization that nothing stays the same no matter how desperately we want it to." -- Booklist"Benway peels away the surface and digs down to the raw emotions the teens and their families feel... as a portrait of the emerging adolescent, it engages." -- Kirkus Reviews"This realistic and painful story... twists and turns... until the bittersweet, yet perfect, ending. -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)"Emmys narration is smart and sassy, and the romance plot is satisfying... An unusual blend of a soulmate story, a melodramatic plot, and a realistic book about adjustment, growth, and change, this will please romance fans as well as pragmatic souls with a sentimental streak." -- Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books Review Quote "This realistic and painful story... twists and turns... until the bittersweet, yet perfect, ending.
