#43: In Case of Emergency

In Case of Emergency for Courtney Moreno was one of the books from my McSweeney Book Club.  It's about a girl named Piper who is trying to become an EMT.  She starts on the shift and doesn't fit in right away, but tries her best to do good at this job.  Along with starting to be an EMT, who also learn other details about Piper's life such as her love history, parents' separation, brother's love, etc.  Piper starts a new love interest with someone who has some of the same social issues as Piper.  It was interesting to learn about medical terminology and the things EMTs and other rescue crews deal with.  It is understandable that Piper would have trouble sleeping while dealing with this job.  I could barely sleep just reading her story.  Other all, it was a pretty good story for Moreno's first novel.
