"After a chance encounter, Penny and Sam become each other's emergency contacts and find themselves falling in love digitally, without the humiliating weirdness of having to see each other"-- Provided by publisher.
When Penny Lee 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 is stuck, literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a café and sleeps there too; he knows that this is the chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration for when he's a famous movie director but right life is really testing him. When they cross paths it's a collision of unbearable awkwardness. But as they stay in touch via text and share their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to see each other.

Pretty Good submitted by zoe.dvh on June 16, 2018, 2:18pm I would give this book a 4.5/5 star rating.
This book was worth a read and has a very unique storyline, it just personally didn't resonate too much with me as books in the past have. I recommend you give it a try though, as everyone has their own taste in books. The setting and references in the book are very modern and tie in with a typical teen's life and lifestyle, making it a good choice for a relatable read. The cover art is quite nice as well, an added bonus. Give this book a try, it'll be worth the read!

Romantic Read submitted by me11yagn on August 26, 2019, 6:37pm This book was very romantic and dealt with being a family. I think everything was well written.
