Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi
Publication: January 1st, 2019 by
Simon Schuster Australia
“Smart and funny, with characters
so real and vulnerable, you want to send them care packages. I loved this
book.” —Rainbow Rowell
From debut author Mary H.K. Choi
comes a compulsively readable novel that shows young love in all its awkward
glory—perfect for fans of Eleanor & Park and To All the Boys I’ve Loved
Before.
For Penny Lee, high school was a
total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she’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. It’s seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything
she can’t wait to leave behind.
Sam’s stuck. Literally,
figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a café 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 he’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 it’s
less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap
numbers and stay in touch—via text—and soon become digitally inseparable,
sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating
weirdness of having to, you know, see each other.
