Thanks to the rapid-fire exchanges between the girls, it's a fast-moving celebration of a friendship transformed by distance, change, and burgeoning maturity, but still stubbornly strong. The tension between neurotic Ava and uninhibited Gen regarding sex and sexuality is especially engrossing Ava's many missteps regarding Gen's sexual experimentation can be cringe-worthy, but they lead to meaningful conversations and growth.
Fans of Dunn and Raskin's YouTube channel, "Just Between Us," will probably recognize the authors' influence on their heroines, but Ava and Gen stand on their own as multifaceted characters. Gen Goldman, a journalism major, and Ava Helmer, a film major, are attending schools on opposite sides of the country, but they correspond constantly, updating each other about events and thoughts both mundane and profound, as well as seeking advice on how to handle their increasingly complicated social and sex lives. YouTubers Dunn and Raskin craft a humorous look at friendship and college life in their debut novel, told through emails and text messages exchanged between two best friends and college freshman. But as each changes and grows into her new life, will their friendship be able to survive the distance? From first loves to weird roommates, heartbreak, self-discovery, coming out and mental health, the two of them document every wild and awkward moment to each other. So begins a series of texts and emails sent between two best friends, Ava and Gen, as they head off to their first semesters of college on opposite sides of the country. We're still in the same room, you weirdo. (that brunette who won’t leave you alone) I can already tell that I will hate everyone but you. Perfect for fans of “Robin Talley’s What We Left Behind or Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl” ( School Library Journal, Starred Review), Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin’s I Hate Everyone But You is a hilarious and heartfelt debut novel about new beginnings, love and heartbreak, and ultimately the power of friendship. "Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin have captured everything about the pain and excitement of that first terrifying, fabulous, confusing year on your own in college… In this epistolary novel, you live day by day with Ava and Gen, deep inside that friendship, so deep, it feels like it’s your own." -Francine Pascal, bestselling author of the Sweet Valley High series Named by Bustle as one of the "16 Books The Internet Is Going To Be Obsessed With This Year"Ī Barnes & Noble Pick for “Most Anticipated LGBTQIAP YA Books of the Second Half of 2017” A POPSUGAR "Best Young Adult Book of 2017" Pick
