Permanent Record

"I adored Permanent Record because Mary H.K. Choi’s singular voice creates an unforgettable protagonist who leaps off the page. Pablo Rind is a college dropout adrift in New York who works the graveyard shift at a deli. A chance encounter with mega pop star Leanna Smart leads to a jet-setting whirlwind romance that forces Pablo to reexamine his choices and get his life together. While the romance is fun and charming, Pablo’s coming-of-age arc is what hooked me."
