Today we have a special edition of The ABCs brought by a character in Robin Benway’s newest book Emmy & Oliver. The book is out in stores now and is fantastic! (My review is HERE). You can find out more on the book and enter the giveaway below. But now let’s welcome Emmy and Robin to the ABCs!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emmy:
Accessories: Gold surfboard necklace
In EMMY & OLIVER, Emmy is a great surfer who’s been keeping it a secret from her overprotective parents. I feel like not only would she absolutely love this necklace, but she could wear it without her parents discovering her secret. Plus, it’s really cute. Her best friend Caro would probably ask to borrow it sometimes.
Books: I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
Emmy gets a lot of books from Caro’s big sister Jessica, and I could see Jessica giving Emmy this book because not only does it have a cool cover, but one of the main characters, Jude, is a surfer like Emmy. Emmy would totally forget to give it back to Jessica because she ends up liking it so much.
Clothes: Beach cover-up
Not only does this shirt list all of Emmy’s favorite beaches, including the ones where she surfs, but it’s also a great cover-up after being in the water all day. It’d probably end up wadded up in the back of her minivan (the only car big enough to hold her surfboard) because she loves it and keeps with her all the time. She definitely does NOT let Caro borrow it, either.
Robin:
Accessories: Caffeine Molecule necklace
I don’t wear much jewelry except for necklaces, and right now, I’m in love with this one. I could have caffeine near me 24/7! Living the dream!
Books: The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan
I’ve been dying to read this book for over a year, so I’m thrilled that it’s out now! It’s at the very top of my summer reads list.
Clothes: Book Tour Belle dress
Whenever I do book events, I love wearing dresses. They make me feel professional and pretty, and they’re also a nice change from wearing yoga pants all day while I work from home. (Not that I ever do that. Ahem. Moving on.) But I love the flower pattern on this dress, and I might get it for the EMMY & OLIVER launch party at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena on June 24th. Plus, the name of the dress says it all!

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?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 had 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.Readers who love Sarah Dessen will devour 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.
I’m so happy we got to see ABCs from Emmy and from Robin–definitely the best of both worlds! And gosh that Book Tour Belle dress is pretty–I love that it has book tour in the name too.
YAY! I LOVED this book, LOVE Robin and hello! Love that dress!!!
All of the stuff she picked for Emmy is just great! That surfboard charm necklace is so cute (just don’t let the parents catch you wearing it, Emmy!) and I love that cover up! I wish it was mine! 😉
