![]() Gen, similar to Gaby, attends college on the east coast at Emerson with her eye set on breaking the next Watergate as a journalism major.

Ava finds herself struggling with what’s supposed to be “the best time of her life” actually being the worst. An epistolary novel/letter story, the book takes place during Ava and Gen’s first semester at college and away from each other. And if I told you that at one point the interview was interrupted by a hyper puppy (mines, not theirs) and again by a delivery of boutiques and a teddy bear (for one of them, not me), you’d probably wonder what mad lib book or situational sitcom I got this plot from.īut, I can very much assure you that all of this managed to happen when I talked to Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin to discuss their new Young Adult novel, I Hate Everyone But You. For that day to also be the same day that their book hit shelves and their book tour kicked off might make the whole thing sound a little less believable.
