7.9.2020 - Dear Emmie Blue

Dear Emmie Blue by Lia Louis

Many thanks to NetGalley, Atria/Emily Bestler Books, and Lia Louis for the opportunity to read this wonderful story - 5 stars for a charming book filled with characters you will love.

Emmie Blue has had a tough life - a mostly absent single mother, no dad in the picture, and then an incident at school leaves her friendless and an outcast.  When a school project has them send balloons with notes attached, Lucas found it and contacted her.  Suddenly, she had a best friend and a family that took her in for holidays and their shared birthday celebration.  And Emmie was in love.  As time marched on, Lucas and Emmie shared everything - but when he announces that he's getting married and wants Emmie to be his best man, Emmie is devastated.  She realizes she has put everything aside for this relationship and now she is even more alone.

A book filled with so much heart, you will adore Emmie Blue and be cheering for her throughout the story.   And her friends, Louise, Rosie and Fox are the best.  This is a book about friendship, truth, loyalty and love - don't miss it!
