A darkly comic and heartbreakingly honest YA novel about finding the
courage to help a friend who can't stop hurting herself.
Zoe and Hank (short for Hannah) have been inseparable since they met in
elementary school. The leader of the pack, Zoe is effortlessly popular
while Hank hides comfortably in her shadow. But when Zoe's parents
unexpectedly divorce, Zoe's perfect facade starts cracking little by
little. Sinking under the weight of her broken family, Zoe develops an
eating disorder. Now she must rely on Hank for help.
Hank struggles to help Zoe; after all, she is used to agreeing, not
leading. How can she help her best friend get better before it's too
late?
Written partially in letters from Zoe and mostly in narrative from
Hank's perspective, Abby Sher's Miss You Love You Hate You Bye is a
poignant and eye-opening novel about friendship, mental health, and
learning to put yourself first.
