Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.
DNF. This book has a gorgeous cover. That's about it.

I couldn't get through this. The male lead, Sam, seems okay. The female lead, Penny, is a total bitch, and not in a fun "flawed character" authorial intent way.

She's constantly putting others down, especially other women who dare to show even a smidge of femininity, and all of this is portrayed with an uncomfortable superior-feeling attitude. Basically, the writer seems to think it's edgy to be nasty to others.

Yikes.
