I just learned that EmergencyContact was coauthored by partners irl (husband and wife), and It all makes sense :)
This was such a humorous, sweet, second-chance romance (divorcees) plot that drew me in immediately. Especially listening to both POVs. The absolute sarcasm was there, the holiday season vibe was there, the stuck-together road trip setting was there which pretty much made it adorable and wholesome, and flirtatious moments were there as well. All with the right amount.
The only issue I got was wanting more, cause I felt it ended so abruptly at the moment you'd call a happy ending mark. It was so quick. I also wanted to know more about the reasons behind the divorce on a deeper level, they were superficial. But, the reality check between them was beautiful.
A perfect holiday-themed second-chance rom-com adventure, EmergencyContact tells of Katherine, an ambitious NYC attorney, who gets diagnosed with a concussion and must be monitored for 48 hours to make sure it doesn't get worse. Unfortunately, she forgot to update her emergency contact so the person they call is her ex-husband, Tom.
