The day Oliver was kidnapped by his father changed things in the lives of all those close to him. He was seven years old. His best friend Emmy will think about Oliver everyday for ten years until he's found and brought home. Emmy has dreamed of this moment for years, but now that Oliver is home, everyone questions just where this "new" Oliver fits because he is no longer a seven year old boy, but at seventeen he's on his way to becoming a man. 
 Oliver himself is thrust into a seemingly new life, one where his mother remarried and he now has two half sisters. One of the constants has been Emmy. Even though both are essentially different, they both still click together. But can the serious issues that Oliver is still facing keep them together or will it break them apart? 
 Since Oliver has been gone, Emmy herself, while still thinking about him, had to continue on with her life. She's made plans. What if those plans don't include Oliver. As the two grow close again, will Emmy still be able to be there for her friend, yet still retain the person that she became in his absence? 
 These types of stories always draw me in. Two people who are destined to be together fighting to get to the point where they used to be in order to get to the point where they should be. It's a little toned down being that it's a YA book, but the idea is the same. 
 Emmy was a great character. She's been through a lot in the ten years since Oliver's disappearance. Her family was extremely close with Oliver's and they saw first hand the devastation his kidnapping caused so in turn they start to over-protect Emmy. Emmy begins little rebellions, but she's still a good person. 
 It's not hard to guess some of the emotional roller coaster that this book will take you through, but Robin Benway does a great job of not overwhelming the story with too much moroseness. Yes, there's heartbreak and sadness, but everyone is aiming towards a hopeful goal. Aiming to get back to normal and move forward. 
 I thought it was a beautiful story. I was rooting for Emmy and Oliver throughout the whole thing.
