A New York Times bestseller!
On paper, college dropout Pablo Rind doesn't have a whole lot going for him. His graveyard shift at a twenty-four-hour deli in Brooklyn is a struggle. Plus, he's up to his eyeballs in credit card debt. Never mind the state of his student loans.
Pop juggernaut Leanna Smart has enough social media followers to populate whole continents. The brand is unstoppable. She graduated from child stardom to become an international icon and her adult life is a queasy blur of private planes, aspirational hotel rooms, and strangers screaming for her just to notice them.
When Leanna and Pablo meet at 5:00 a.m. at the bodega in the dead of winter it's absurd to think they'd be A Thing. But as they discover who they are, who they want to be, and how to defy the deafening expectations of everyone else, Leanna and Pablo turn to each other. Which, of course, is when things get properly complicated.
PRAISE FOR PERMANENT RECORD
'Captivating, with quotable one-liners pinging on every page' The New York Times
'Scintillating' Financial Times
'This is the kind of book you get a crush on as you read' Wired
'This astounding follow-up to her debut, Emergency Contact, proves Choi is a spokesperson for the way we communicate (and strive, and love) now' Refinery29, Best Books of September
Amy is a keen children’s book nerd and spends a lot of time reading and reviewing picture books with her toddler, Fenrir. But it’s not all colourful pictures! Her passion is getting kids reading, and her life's mission is to get the right books in the right hands. Ask her for advice or recommend something to her and watch her eyes light up!
Permanent Record by H.K. Choi – this is definitely for the older readers. Choi’s first book, Emergency Contact, really sucked me in. No surprise, as her writing style is gutsy, honest and fluid. This novel is about two teens on the edge of adulthood, being launched into the world of student loans, dramatic lifestyle changes and of course, romance. Also, the romance isn’t fluffy. It’s real, almost tangible and frustrating and so much better than any meet-cute. 15+
