Emergency Contact by Lauren Layne

3.0

Never forget to change your emergency contact when you leave your marriage. That is the lesson Katherine didn't follow when she and her ex Tom split up. Close to Christmas Katherine gets in an accident in New York and the hospital calls Tom. Tom feels obligated to do the right thing though Katherine was not someone he was crazy about seeing again and comes to Katherine's aid. Tom has plans though for Christmas. Plans to propose to his new girlfriend on Christmas Eve. Tom, ever the good guy, can't leave the concussed Katherine alone so he convinces her to fly with him to Chicago to spend Christmas with his family and yes, soon to be fiance. Through several blunders Tom and Katherine slowly make their way to Chicago and in the course of their adventure they start to wonder if their old feelings of love for each other may still be present. The narrators did a great job of moving the story along with voice modulation. I struggled with finding Katherine extremely unlikable and Tom a little crazy for being so drawn to her. Not my favorite love story but an ok romance for Christmas. Thank you to Blackstone Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the audiobook for an honest review.
