Emergency Contact

â€œSmart and funny, with characters so real and vulnerable, you want to send them care packages. I loved this book.â€ â€”Rainbow Rowell

From debut author Mary H.K. Choi comes a compulsively readable novel that shows young love in all its awkward gloryâ€”perfect for fans of Eleanor & Park and To All the Boys Iâ€™ve Loved Before.

For Penny Lee, high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while sheâ€™d somehow landed a boyfriend, they never managed to know much about each other. Now Penny is heading to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer. Itâ€™s seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything she canâ€™t wait to leave behind.

Samâ€™s stuck. Literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a cafÃ© and sleeps there too, on a mattress on the floor of an empty storage room upstairs. He knows that this is the god-awful chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration for when heâ€™s a famous movie director but right this second the seventeen bucks in his checking account and his dying laptop are really testing him.

When Sam and Penny cross paths itâ€™s less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touchâ€”via textâ€”and soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to, you know, see each other.
