Good story about friendship and learning that people change, and its ok. Very quick read, fantastic format between emails, and texts.

Oh I really loved Ava and Gen. Two best friends with one thing in common - they are hilarious. As they go their separate ways and head off to college they keep in touch via emails and texts; and that's pretty much how this book is structured - a constant conversation which details the adventures of the two girls as they experience a new place, new people, love, lust, drugs, sororities, coming out and heartbreak. And honestly I felt like Regina George listening in on Gretchen and Cady's private conversations - it was hilarious, an awesome depiction of genuine friendship and a fun take on a book of this nature. Which reminds me - there are lots of references to popular movies/people/events which (if you get them) are brilliant and just a little bit nostalgic.

Ava and Gen are easy to tell apart - something I was worried would be difficult without any detailed backstory or scene setting (a bit tricky to do when the book is largely dialogue). And each girl really stuck with me, they're easily relatable to many young girls (and guys) heading off to college/university for the first time - and that's what makes it so much fun to read! We've all been there, embarrassing ourselves or making stupid decisions! Some of the texting which had abbreviated words/text speak went over my head (I'm getting old, but honestly some of them I'd never heard of and I'm not THAT old) but it was a nice way to break up the emails.

The story isn't especially fast paced because we're just following the girls as they go about their time in the college. But it doesn't really matter because the gossip is always coming in for you as the snooping reader!

A funny, heartwarming and cute read which I would happily recommend. It's easy comedic reading; to me, it would be difficult not to enjoy it!

This novel takes a very harsh look at how moving away from home for the first time can do in regards to personal growth, mental illness, and friendships. Gen and Ava were attached at the hip during high school but now they are separate coasts dealing with polar opposite educational institutions.

Ava is realizing how being away from Gen destabilizes her and how she handles her mental illness. Gen is realizing that she does not have to follow the societal expectations for her relationships, and it having trouble reconciling her decisions with what she believes Ava expects of her.

This novel is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. And other than getting a little lost in time stamps for the emails and text messages I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.

As a long-time fan of Allison and Gaby, from BuzzFeed to Just Between Us, I was so excited to see that they had written a YA novel. It's definitely something I'll be purchasing for my library's collection, and recommending to the youths.

This novel made me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. Ava and Gen are real characters, and the portrayal of the transition from high school to university was painfully familiar. The authors know what it's like to be a millennial, and they show it beautifully in this book.

This was a book about long distance friendship, growing up, and learning how to stay friends despite growing apart as people. Ava and Gen were very interesting characters on their own, but together they create a dynamic that's compelling to the reader. Not only did I want to continue reading, I felt like I had to know how this part of their story ended. The chemistry and dialogue were realistic and I really, genuinely enjoyed reading this story. There were moments that felt a little forced, but overall I didn't feel like the quality of the book was deteriorated by that. If you're looking for a book that is on the lighter side but that has actual substance, then this is a good pick.

I Hate Everyone But You is an epistolary novel about Gen and Ava. They have been best friends for years and are faced with going to college on opposite sides of the country. Gen is a journalism major at Emerson College and Ava is studying film at USC. Their friendship is tested by distance, teenage drama, Gen's exploration of her sexuality, and Ava's mental/emotional instability.
I wanted to love this story; however, the characters were difficult for me - they had complexity but not a lot of likeability. This made the novel a fun read, but not the meaningful read it could have been.

For anyone who has a best friend!

Honestly once I started this book it was really hard to put down. Not because it was SO AMazing. And not because it was that sort of book that you get lost in the pages.
It was because you can see yourself somewhat in this and the convos you have with your bestie.
My bestie and I have been besties since the age of 13. We have gone through so much together. Babies, weddings, houses, road trips, death.
She has been there for me through the thick and the thin.
She is the ying to my yang.

We have inside jokes, we have moments and we have had fights.

All in the name of love.

I love her fiercely and this book reminded me of us. Growing, separating and coming back together again.

I love you my Puzie <3

I have enjoyed Gaby and Allison's youtube show, Just Between Us, for years and jumped at the opportunity to receive an ARC from NetGalley of their upcoming book. As a fan of their show, I was not disappointed by this quirky and hilarious YA book. However, I would even recommend this to people who do not already know if they are a Gaby or an Allison (in the books case, a Gen or an Ava) since they are 3 dimensional characters even in paper. The format (emails and texts) allows this book to be fun and addictive with random 1 liners scattered throughout their correspondence. I also love that it touches on important themes such as LGBTQ acceptance, relationships, mental health issues, college life, and of course friendship!

Oh this book  I loved it, absolutely loved it. I am a sucker for books written in email/text form anyway but this one was beautiful. I loved both the characters and they were so cute with each other! The sensitivity with how some very challenging topics were dealt with was amazing. My wish was granted for this book and I am so glad it was. I devoured it in a few hours and loved it (Did I mention that I loved it?) Thank you so much.

A little bit of nostalgia, and a lot of Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging, I recommend this book to anyone dreading going to college.

As a Buzzfeed fan once upon a time, I'm quite familiar with authors Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin, and their specific contributions to this book are very VERY obvious, especially to the main characters Ava and Gen. Filled with Dunn and Raskin's typical wit and tenacity, Gen and Ava leap off the page, entirely realized.

A quick and fun read, I recommend this to seniors both dreading and excited for the leap to higher education.

'I Hate Everyone But You' is a modern epistolar novel about two girls connected by an unlikely friendship. Ava suffers from OCD since she was 4, she is a type of an introvert with loving family, while Gen is an independent extrovert experiencing with her sexuality. Being 18 and away from their homes they grow up by dealing with new relationships, moods and morals. As an educator I wouldn't recommend it to my students mostly because sex issues are treated very lightly here, Or in other words with total honesty as far as the real (and cruel) world is concerned.

I Hate Everyone But You by Gabby Dunn; Allison Raskin
