Emergency Contact is a young adult contemporary by author Mary Choi. This is the first book I have read by Mary, but I really enjoyed it. The way we connect and converse with people has changed over time, and I really like that not only does this book revolve around characters with lots of their own issues, but it also takes into account the digital world we live in. Emergency Contact follows our two main characters, Penny and Sam, who meet online and converse through text messages. Graduating high school and starting a job or college is a big transition for young adults, and I think Emergency Contact captured this period of life in all it's realness. Sometimes it is pretty but sometimes it is not. And Mary was not afraid to show the hard and ugly moments, which I really appreciated.

Both Penny and Sam have a lot going on in their lives and within themselves, but I loved how imperfect they each were. They fascinated me individually, and then watching the progression of their relationship was very satisfying. This was not a light fluffy read, but it was enjoyable and cute in its' own way. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey Penny and Sam took me on. Emergency Contact was a great book from start to finish.
