Emergency Contact by Mary H. K. Choi

FOR PENNY LEE

high school was a total non-event. Her friends were okay,
her grades were fine, and while she'd somehow landed a
boyfriend, they never managed to know much about each
other. Now Penny is heading to college in Austin, Texas,
to learn how to become a writer. It's seventy-nine miles
and a zillion light-years away from everything she can't
wait to leave behind.

SAM'S STUCK.

Literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at
a cafe and sleeps there too, on a mattress on the floor or
an empty storage room upstairs. He knows that this is the
god-awful chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration
when he's a famous movie director, but right this second
the seventeen bucks in his checking account and his dying
laptop are really testing him.

WHEN SAM AND PENNY

cross paths, it's less meet-cute and more a collision of
unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and
stay in touch--via text--and soon become digitally
inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret
dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to,
you know, see each other.
