Two friends going to college on opposite sides of the country try to maintain their friendship through texts and e-mails.

Eva lives a life of emptiness and despair in a city she despises, with no friends, no job, and no purpose. She longs for an escape from her mundane life and wishes to be abducted by aliens. However, her life takes a turn when she gets a job as a supermarket cashier. Here she meets people who are just as lonely and lost as she is, and she even falls in love for the first time. But reality is not always as romantic as the movies, and Eva soon learns that life is filled with dark humour, pain, and unexpected twists. This poignant story reflects real-life struggles and is recommended for ages 16 and up due to strong language.

For anyone who hates everyone, you are not alone. This book goes through all the miserable people you love to hate. Do you hate morning people? How about the guy who doesn’t wipe the ketchup top after using it? Or people who just don’t care? After all, isn’t hating just another form of caring? It's true: Misery does love company. But what kind of company can you keep if you can't stand anyone? This kind. No matter who they are or what they do that sets you off and gets you going, you'll find 'em inside. From rich people who are dicks to guys named Rich who go by Dick to those who are always cold to people who are just hot, no one is safe. But one thing is certain—everyone will find someone they equally despise. And you're gonna love it, period.
