Don't read this book expecting not to fall in love. Choi's voice is so very real, it breathes life into every character. This is not just a love story, but you will fall in love.

Penny, you will fall in love with for her isolationist and alarmist lifestyle. Her need for support and her rejection of the very same. Her perfectly-timed quips that make you message your personally-assigned FBI agent to ask if they have been leaking your daily habits and thoughts to YA authors.

Sam you will love because he is a mess, and nothing more. In that mess, you will find a person who loves others more than he has any right or reason to.

Choi, of course, you will love for giving you this narrative and making you care about young love again.

From between seemingly over-told experiences, Choi extracts a unique story that needed to be shared. EMERGENCY CONTACT is the YA that I am perpetually searching for.

A triumph of a ghost story. More to come later.

One of the best YA books I've read in a long while. It made me identify with a culture I knew nothing about, and made me afraid of things that haven't given me nightmares for years.
