Dear Best Friend, I can already tell that I will hate every­one but you. Sin­cere­ly, Ava Helmer (that brunette who won’t leave you alone). We’re still in the same room you weirdo. Stop crying.

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. From first loves to weird room­mates, heart­break, self-dis­cov­ery, com­ing out, and men­tal health, the two best friends will doc­u­ment every moment to each oth­er. But as each changes and grows into her new life, will their friend­ship be able to sur­vive the dis­tance? A debut from two emerg­ing tal­ents in YA from Jew­ish descent, this is a sto­ry about new begin­nings, love and heart­break, and ulti­mate­ly about the pow­er of friendship.
