Okay look, I just about died when I saw that this one was announced. I gasped and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face for like 30 minutes and I keep grinning like an idiot every time I think about it BECAUSE I’M JUST THAT EXCITED. Emergency Contact was one of the best things I read in 2018 and one of the absolute best contemporaries that I’ve ever read. Reading it was a truly magical experience and I can’t wait for some more social media influenced romance from Mary H.K. Choi. I have no words for how ready I am for this book and the wait until it comes out in September is awful and I’ve only known about this book for a few days.

Leanna Smart’s life so far has been nothing but success. Age eight: Disney Mouseketeer; Age fifteen: first #1 single on the US pop chart; Age seventeen, *tenth* #1 single; and now, at Age nineteen…life is a queasy blur of private planes, weird hotel rooms, and strangers asking for selfies on the street.
When Leanna and Pab randomly meet at 4:00 a.m. in the middle of a snowstorm in Brooklyn, they both know they can’t be together forever. So, they keep things on the down-low and off Instagram for as long as they can. But it takes about three seconds before the world finds out…”
