Talk about an all-out emotional whirlwind in this Texas-based book that explores that all-too-often overlooked time of incredible growth during the college years for main characters Penny and Sam.

Emergency Contact’s main characters, Penny and Sam, sparkle with charisma and yet, they’re so layered and complex and real, they read as a pair you might meet at your own university.
