For Penny Lee
high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she somehow managed to land a boyfriend, he doesn’t actually know anything about her. When Penny heads 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 café and sleeps there too, on a mattress on the floor of an empty storage room upstairs. He knows that this is the god-awful chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration for 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 see each other.

J'ai sous-estimé ce Young Adult touchant, trop cute et ancré dans le monde moderne de l'âge adulte. C'est une évolution de page en page, s'inspirant des romances connus mais avec quelques pointes d'originalités. Alors que Penny découvre la vie loin de chez elle et sans sa mère, elle rencontre Sam, un garçon maigre, tatoué et alcoolique. Tentant de gagner sa vie, ce dernier travaille dans un café. Un imprévu dans son parcours le forcera à revoir cette fille sombre, pour qu'ils deviennent chacun le numéro d'urgence. Le concept << Emergency Contact >> est génial. Sam et Penny sont à l'opposé, ils ont des défauts qui ne cachent pas, ils sont imparfaits et ils le savent. À travers cette imperfection et les surprises de la vie, ils se soutiennent et je trouve tout ça super à voir des personnages humains qui ont des parents semblables à la réalité. Je suis bouleversée et heureuse d'avoir lu cette romance unique pour la saison estivale.
Une jolie romance surprenante et pleine de tendresse.
''Snacks are important,'' he said. ''And you can never have enough plastic cable.''
''Are you making fun of me?'' sha asked.
''Non.'' He shook his head vehemently and took another hanful of cashews. ''Not at all. I respect the shit out of it. Your EDC is saving my ass.''

Extraits :
Penny believed with her whole heart that there were moment —crucial instances— that defined who someone was going to be. There were clues or signs, and you didn't want to miss them.''Snacks are important,'' he said. ''And you can never have enough plastic cable.''
''Are you making fun of me?'' sha asked.
''Non.'' He shook his head vehemently and took another hanful of cashews. ''Not at all. I respect the shit out of it. Your EDC is saving my ass.''
