A review by morgansbookshelf
Permanent Record by Mary H.K. Choi

lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

Pablo doesn't know what he's doing - he dropped out of NYU, accumulated a ton of debt, moved out of his mom's place to an apartment he can't afford, and his temporary job at a bodega has become pretty permanent. Then Leanna Smart walks into the bodega one night and sparks fly. Lee is an international superstar, so Pab doesn't expect to see her again, but then she shows up at his work and suddenly they're on a plane to LA. 
Choi chooses the most unlikely MCs and I love it. I really wasn't sure what the expect of this story and thought it might just be a cute little romance, but it's really more about Pablo finding himself. In some areas, Choi probably could have dug a little deeper, but overall I really enjoyed it. Yolk is still my favourite of hers, though.
