Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi

This was such a pleasant surprise! From hearing a bunch of mixed reviews on it, I didn't know how I was going to feel about it. There definitely were some cliche things in here like "I released a breath I didn't realize I was holding" and the one you shouldn't love but you still do. I think my favorite thing though was the fact that the two of them had very separate beginnings, and slowly but surely crossed together. However, I didn't think this was anything SO special that I would necessarily reread a million times, nor did I think that Choi over did the millennial references. It clearly showed that this was a 2018 release with the language and I'm really pleased with it being a new contemporary. It was definitely over hyped for sure.
