And I also just have a random question that bothered me for literally the entire book - if June is only 23 (my current age), how the heck does she have such a fancy high-rise apartment? Especially if she doesn't have a job? I don't know a single NYC 23 year old that even has a job that prestigious that can make that much money when you're so young without climbing the latter. So seeing that Ingrid has all this time was a really sweet, down-to-earth, enlightening moment. Especially since that's something that Jayne struggles with so much throughout the book - wishing that someone would actually notice her. And realizing that they both noticed each other - that neither of them were as invisible to the world as they might think - actually warmed my heart a lot. It was a sweet, interesting way to show a bit of a peek behind the curtain about someone who Jayne saw and passed judgement on almost every day. ![]() It’s your juicy, funny, adorable, and utterly ridiculous rom-com that you must read now.(Spoilers in this paragraph, skip to the next one to avoid them!) I also really liked the small detail of Jayne meeting up with Ingrid at the end of the book. Permanent Record is a roller coaster in the best possible way. At first you might be annoyed with Leanna, the pop culture icon-but as you get to know her, you’ll start to feel for her, and inevitably, you’ll be rooting for a relationship with so many odds stacked against it. A pop culture writer herself, Mary drew on her own experiences (I mean come on, she was one of only 140 journalists who got to jet-set with RiRi), and you can absolutely sense that in this story. This book was easily a favorite to read, and the conversation we struck up with Mary just sealed the deal. We cringed as we watched Pablo make countless financial mistakes-but we also silently felt what that meant for his future, because haven’t we all done that at some point? We also deeply related to Pablo’s conflicted feelings on intimacy in the age of social media on the one hand, we’re all connected, but on the other, there’s this element of isolation. What follows is a story written with so much honesty. One night while he’s working the graveyard shift, in walks Leanna Smart-a child star with a rabid fan base (think Ariana Grande or Selena Gomez)-and soon, a romance forms. In Permanent Record we meet Pablo, a recent NYU dropout who works at a bodega, just trying to figure out his life. And that’s exactly how we feel about Mary H.K. What we love most about recommending books for “Why Not YA?” is the reaction we get from readers when they dive into a YA novel they didn’t know they needed to read. I slide my MetroCard smoothly-quickly-bracing for the clang, that hip check of an expired pass, but the turnstile clicks me through. Especially when the windchill mauls your face-meat to ribbons. Still, I just wish the damn health food store were a little closer to my apartment. See, we’re fancy, not at all a bodega, never mind that we’re open twenty-four hours a day, are owned by no-nonsense Koreans, and have a deli cat named Gusto. We even have cake mix with gluten that’s just as expensive because it’s ironic. Choi's new novel follows Penny and Sam, both so loaded down with emotional baggage that at first, all they can do is swap numbers and agree to be each other's emergency contacts. Gluten-free, sugar-free, dye free cake for your non-immunized kid’s next birthday? Yep. Are you in the market for organic, non-sulfur-treated goji berries at eighteen bucks a bag? We got you. Plus, we sell every type of rich-people fetish food. ![]() In any case, it’s well lit, huge by New York standards, with a battalion of Vitamix blenders right up front-4K worth at least. Says right there on the sign: M&A JUICE BAR DELI ORGANIC GROCERY CORP. I don’t care what any of the assholes I live with tell you.
