Description
โSmart and funny, with characters so real and vulnerable, you want to send them care packages. I loved this book.โ โRainbow RowellFrom debut author Mary H.K. Choi comes a compulsively readable novel that shows young love in all its awkward gloryโperfect for fans of Eleanor & Park and To All the Boys Iโve Loved Before .
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 doesnโt actually know anything about her. When Penny heads to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer, itโs seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything she canโt wait to leave behind.
Samโs stuck. Literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a cafรฉ 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 heโs 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 itโs less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touchโvia textโand soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to see each other.
