Description: "High school senior Carson Flynn doesn't give a damn about you, about school, or about her future. The only thing she cares about is jumping into mosh pits at punk shows with her best friend Ash. But when Ash and Carson's friendship becomes something more, a lot of complicated feelings enter the pit swinging: the unresolved grief they share over the loss of Carson's mother, the realities of growing up queer in small-town America, and the biggest bruiser of all: what does it mean to love and be loved? As Carson discovers new corners of her heart, she sees that her too-cool approach to life may have been keeping her closed off from her potential. Maybe there is something greater out there, a bright future full of promise... if only she could convince Ash to see it too."--

Brief description: K. Wroten is an award-winning comics author and illustrator. They are originally from the Midwest and currently live in Brooklyn, NY with their pet snake, Jules.

Review Quotes:

A Rainbow Book List Selection

"Everyone Sux But You is a book you can lose time inside . . . Wroten perfectly captures the agony of first love embedded in a deep and complicated friendship, as well as the ambition of bright misfits dreaming of elsewhere in "flyover country". A new generation's Perks of Being a Wallflower." --Mary Shyne, author of You and Me on Repeat

"A complex and emotionally raw story of young love and learning to prioritize oneself." --Kirkus Reviews

"An honest exploration of first love and the strength it takes to leave an abusive -relationship." --School Library Journal

"Laden with references to alternative music and the 2000s emo scene, Everyone Sux but You provides insight into the mutable nature of teenage relationships through an emotionally resonant queer lens." --Booklist
