Pablo Neruda Rind, Pab to his friends, doesn’t have it all together. Not even a little. He’s working nights at a bodega after dropping out of NYU. He’s also amassed a substantial amount of debt that he’s avoiding. But his life seems to change when a force to be reckoned with enters the bodega one night. She’s witty and charming, quirky and engaging...and also an international pop star. Pab is infatuated, but he knows nothing can come of it. After Leanna Smart returns to the bodega, Pab starts blowing off work and avoiding his problems even more to jet across the globe to spend time with her. He knows it won’t end well, but he can’t seem to stop either. “Permanent Record” is a captivating read about the turbulent time that follows high school. Teens are asked to make decisions that affect the rest of their lives. It can be frightening and paralyzing, but it’s also exciting and exhilarating.
