Emergency Contact
by Mary H.K. Choi
I was provided with an ARC via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
“He’s here?” Admittedly Penny was curious to meet the guy who had more than two million views on a weepy song about being too hurt to surf.
Here’s a description about the basic outline of the book: Penny is an Asian kid whose mom is, according to her, super dumb and she feels that it has become Penny’s responsibility to take care of her mom. Sam belongs to a poor family and her mother is a solid alcoholic. Now one day that meet in an awkward situation and decide to swap their numbers in case of an emergency. Slowly, they start to discuss the tensions and problems in their life which ranges from basics to deep, strange and dark secrets.
To be honest, though I liked the story a lot, it came with certain characteristics that didn’t suit me. To start with, I found both Penny’s and Sam’s character a little dubious. It seemed that they weren’t sure about what they really wanted in their life. Not were the clear about their intentions.
Our relationship, as abstract as it is, is the best of any relationship, I think. You’re intense, so much fun, and maybe a bit nuts, and at the same time you’re super focused and passionate about how you want to live your life and your work and it’s beautiful.
I liked the story. I really did. Especially the writing style and the basic outline of the story. The way the story describes the various relationships with all their ups and downs is a beautiful one. Also, there are a variety of characters with different personalities which makes the story all the more interesting.
But at the same time I liked the fact that various sides of the character was shown to us. Their vulnerable side, their strong side and even their work side was shown to us which made it all the more appealing. It didn’t stop at being romance, but a lot more than that.
It wasn’t a romance; it was too perfect for that. With texts there were only the words and none of the awkwardness.
