Emmy and Oliver by Robin Benway. From the reviews I have read so far this Young Adult book is a lot deeper than it's romance-looking cover depicts. Emmy and Oliver were going to be best friends forever. That was until Oliver's dad kidnapped him and kept him on the run for ten years. When Oliver reappears back into his hometown Emmy wants to pick up their relationship where they left off. But Oliver's confusion over his Dad and discovering he was actually kidnapped has messed a lot of things up, and Emmy's parents, fearful for their daughters safety since Oliver's disappearance seem unable to let Emmy live her life.
