Description
Oliver's absence split us wide open, dividing our neighborhood along a fault line strong enough to cause an earthquake. An earthquake would have been better. At least during an earthquake, you understand why you're shaking.
Emmy and Oliver were going to be best friends forever, or maybe even more, before their futures were ripped apart. But now Oliver is back, and he's not the skinny boy-next-door that used to be Emmy's best friend. Now he's the boy who got kidnapped. A stranger - a totally hot stranger! - with a whole history that Emmy knows nothing about.
But is their story still meant to be? Or are they like the pieces of two different puzzles - impossible to fit together?

This was a wonderful coming-of-age story, that made me chuckle and get a little teary. Oliver was kidnapped by his father when he was seven years old, his best friend and next door neighbour Emmy has waited 10 years for him to come home. And today he did. This is a story of love, friendship, teen angst, parental frustration and moving on. 5 stars
