If You Like Mary H.K. Choi Books, You’ll Love…

Emergency Contact was Mary H.K. Choi’s first novel and the one that put her on the map. The book follows Penny Lee who is excited to get out of high school and head to Austin, Texas for college. She never had a boyfriend in high school and basically considered it to be a nonevent in her life. She’s excited to leave this life behind and head off to college. She meets Sam who thinks he has a bright future as a director, but right now is going through hell. He works at a cafe and sleeps there too. The two exchange numbers and begin a texting relationship that makes them inseparable except for the whole seeing each other part

Choi followed that book up with Permanent Record. This book sees a “meet cute” between Pablo, a college dropout, and Leanna Smart, a pop superstar. You wouldn’t think the two would hit it off, but they aren’t exactly into letting other people define who they are or live up to other’s expectations. The two will discover who they are together and what they want to be, even as things get complicated.
