Mary H. K. Choi in Conversation With Laini Taylor
September 7, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
FreeFrom Mary H. K. Choi, author of Emergency Contact, which Rainbow Rowell called “smart and funny,” comes Permanent Record (Simon & Schuster), a new YA romance about how social media influences relationships. On paper, college dropout Pablo Rind doesn’t have a whole lot going for him. Pop juggernaut Leanna Smart has enough social media followers to populate whole continents. When they meet at a 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, Lee and Pab turn to each other. Which, of course, is when things get properly complicated. Choi will be joined in conversation by Laini Taylor, author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy.
