This
week I am waiting on Emmy and Oliver by Robin Benway (June 23,
2015)
Summary From Good Reads
Emmy’s best friend, Oliver,
reappears after being kidnapped by his father ten years ago. Emmy hopes to pick
up their relationship right where it left off. Are they destined to be
together? Or has fate irreparably driven them apart?
Emmy just wants to be in charge of her own life.
She wants to stay out late, surf her favorite beach—go anywhere without her parents’ relentless worrying. But Emmy’s parents can’t seem to let her grow up—not since the day Oliver disappeared.
Oliver needs a moment to figure out his heart.
He’d thought, all these years, that his dad was the good guy. He never knew that it was his father who kidnapped him and kept him on the run. Discovering it, and finding himself returned to his old hometown, all at once, has his heart racing and his thoughts swirling.
Emmy and Oliver were going to be best friends forever, or maybe even more, before their futures were ripped apart. 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?
Readers who love Sarah Dessen will tear through these pages with hearts in throats as Emmy and Oliver struggle to face the messy, confusing consequences of Oliver’s father’s crime. Full of romance, coming-of-age emotion, and heartache, these two equally compelling characters create an unforgettable story.

Why I'm Waiting
I'm waiting on this one becuase of the title, I'm not going to lie. I love it, Emmy is the name I had always wanted to be called, but I guess Emma is short enough so I never really got a nickname. And my boyfriend's name is Oliver, so a book called Emmy and Oliver - how could it be bad? Oh, and the plot sounds good too :)
I'll call you Emmy then :) <3
