Dear Emmie Blue is a contemporary YA novel by Lia Louis about two teens connected across the world through an online pen-pal project: Emmie, a young woman caring for her family in the U.K., and Kav, a boy living in California. It mixes romance, mental-health themes, family responsibility, and the bittersweet tension between private grief and public connection.
On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Emmie is convinced that Lucas is going to finally say the words she’s been waiting for. She travels to France for his sister’s wedding, her heart packed tightly in her suitcase. But when she arrives, Lucas has a different kind of announcement: he’s getting married to someone else. dear emmie blue pdf
