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. Woven together through a textual relationship, love grows in a charmingly authentic, open, and honest way. Well-developed secondary characters, a deep exploration of a range of emotions, and some yummy baked goods make this book unputdownable!
From Brandy's list on YA romances set in the American Deep South.
This is one of those all the feels books that’ll make you laugh, cry, worry, and wonder. 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. Their awkward new-relationship moments feel innately relatable, their chemistry smolders, and their story’s conclusion will leave you feeling warm and filled with hope.
From Katy's list on the magic (and angst) of first love.
