In Emmy’s soul, despite the space and time between them, their connection has never been severed. But is their story still written in the stars? Or are their hearts like the pieces of two different puzzles—impossible to fit together? Rating: 5/5
It's time for another 5 Star book!! I was expecting a lot from Robin Benway as she wrote the Also Known As series, which I like a lot, and she didn't disappoint! I loved this book so much!! Sometimes you find a book that's just right and it works in every way but you can't really explain why. I had that with Emmy & Oliver. The dynamic between the characters, not just Emmy and Oliver but also their friends and their parents was just perfect and everything felt realistic and like it was really happening. I wasn't just busy hoping Emmy and Oliver would get together, as I felt for Oliver so much. He didn't demonise his father and I think that's a really good and realistic aspect of the book, as you can't expect a boy who was raised by his father to suddenly start hating him because things weren't as they seemed to him. His father was his father and they did father-and-son things together and Oliver loved him. I think that part of the story got a good ending and it made me tear up a little. But of course I also loved Emmy and Oliver as a pair. They took the time to get to know each other again and rekindle their friendship before making it something more, which was a healthy and wholesome way for Oliver to ease back into his life here. The characters around them were not just to fill up the empty space, but they actually had their own stories and contributed to the main plot, which I appreciated. Altogether I loved this book and I'd recommend it to everyone! This book is such a lovely read and I promise you'll fall in love with Emmy and Oliver too!
