ABOUT EM AND EM:
Em and Em by
Linda Budzinski
Publication Date:
Sept 15, 2015
Publisher: Swoon
Romance
Genre: YA,
Contemporary
The last thing
sixteen-year-old Emily Slovkowski wants is to move away from her home at the
Jersey shore, gorgeous surfer boyfriend Zach, and her entire identity. But
that’s kind of how Witness Protection works, and Em must prepare herself for an
epic do-over as she starts a new life in the Midwest.
Even as she pines for sandy
beaches and the night life of the shore, the newly-named Ember O’Malley finds
herself making new friends, taking photos for the high school newspaper, and
thinking an awful lot about the paper’s editor, an oddly cute cowboy named
Charles.
When Em stumbles upon a shady
beneath-the-bleachers exchange between one of the school’s football coaches and
a student, she refuses to get involved. The last thing she needs is to be
witness to another crime or call attention to herself. Besides, she finally has
some real friends – well, real except for the fact that they don’t know a
single thing about her – and she prefers to keep it that way until the trial.
But as her day in court
approaches, Em begins piecing together what she saw that day beneath the
bleachers. And, as her own past secrets start to catch up with her, Em needs to
figure out who she really is – Em or Em.
