Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi

5.0

Oh, this was lovely! A completely different tone than most of the YA books I read, and so very refreshing. Mary H.K. Choi absolutely NAILS what it feels like to be 17/18 and absolutely in your own head; she also NAILS the unique oddities of relationships carried out nearly entirely digitally. Penny and Sam made me ache in the best way -- I just wanted to give both of them huge hugs and try to fix all of their problems -- and each of Choi's side characters felt fleshed out and fun. I can't wait for whatever Choi writes next!
