![]() So we'll be kind in our rating this time.īottom line: Who knows anything! But I think I liked this. And as established, I am capable of loving Mary HK Choi and equally inclined to appreciate suffering. While Emergency Contact is a hard yes from page 1 to page 347, or whatever, this was a yes/no/maybe so constantly and it never changed.īut I love sisters. ![]() This book made me go back and forth a lot. ![]() There are no two characters in a contemporary YA romance with a cover that sweet and lovely that suffer so much. That's probably why I love Mary HK Choi's Emergency Contact so much. So this book, which is both a) so sad, so filled with suffering, and b) a source of deep and profound confusion to me in terms of what I think about it (and I am someone who cannot feel confused without feeling dumb, and immediately feel angry whenever I feel dumb, in a vicious cycle that makes me seem like an eleven year old boy with a Fortnite addiction and a tendency toward tantrum-throwing).well, it checks the suffering requirement twice over. ![]() But it is my sweet spot, my comfort place, what I know. Nobody loves pain and anguish and sorrow except Disney movie villains and people who work at the airport. Something about me is that I love to suffer. ![]()
