I have been meaning to read a book by Robin Benway for a long time. Everyone gushes about the other books she has written but I have just never gotten to them. So when I had finished a book and needed to pick a new one the cover of Emmy and Oliver popped in my head. Best idea I have had in a long long time. I love this book, like a lot.

I’m attempting to switch up my review style. Welcome to my first attempt at My ABCs of the Book. Let me know what you think about it and if you would change anything.
