I loved this book. I went into it expecting Emergency Contact and instead got something else entirely. 

DO NOT GO INTO THIS WITH EMERGENCY CONTACT ON YOUR MIND.

I loved Pablo I loved how selfish and negative he could be and I loved how completely insane he is about being that careless with himself.

Rain is the best heads down 

I loved Lee the little I felt we saw her. She reminds me a lot of myself someone who feels like they can't escape the box of those controlling but more like too scared to take the plunge. 

Of course Mary H.K. Choi is the best at writing flaw real characters and I cannot wait to read Yolk whenever I can. 

Ranking though Emergency Contact is my everything.
