Permanent Record by Mary H.K. Choi
Text from the back cover:
College dropout Pablo Rind doesn't have a whole lot going for him. His graveyard shift at a twenty-four-hour deli in Brooklyn is a struggle. Plus, he's up to his eyeballs in credit card debt. Pop-music powerhouse Leanna Smart has enough social media followers to populate whole continents. An international icon, her life is a queasy blur of private planes, fancy hotel rooms, and strangers screaming for her just to notice them. Then Leanna and Pablo meet at 5:00 a.m. at a bodega in the dead of winter. As they discover who they are, who they want to be, and how to defy the deafening expectations of everyone else, Lee and Pab turn to each other. Which, of course, is when things get properly complicated.
