Me Being Me Is Exactly as Insane as You Being You
Me Being Me Is Exactly as Insane as You Being You | Todd Hasak-Lowy
18 posts | 13 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
A heartfelt, humorous story of a teen boys impulsive road trip after the shock of his lifetimetold entirely in lists! Darren hasnt had an easy year. There was his parents divorce, which just so happened to come at the same time his older brother Nate left for college and his longtime best friend moved away. And of course theres the whole not having a girlfriend thing. Then one Thursday morning Darrens dad shows up at his house at 6 a.m. with a glazed chocolate doughnut and a revelation that turns Darrens world inside out. In full freakout mode, Darren, in a totally un-Darren move, ditches school to go visit Nate. Barely twenty-four hours at Nates school makes everything much better or much worseDarren has no idea. It might somehow be both. All he knows for sure is that in addition to trying to figure out why none of his family members are who they used to be, hes now obsessed with a strangely amazing girl who showed up out of nowhere but then totally disappeared. Told entirely in lists, Todd Hasak-Lowys debut YA novel perfectly captures why having anything to do with anyone, including yourself, is: 1. painful 2. unavoidable 3. ridiculously complicated 4. possibly, hopefully the right thing after all.

The idea of a book being written in lists was so intriguing, I fell in love instantly.… and then fell out of love as soon as I realized it was being used as a space filler and an easy way out of character descriptions.

Susanita I love lists! But yeah that sounds frustrating. 6y

Darren hasn‘t had a great year — parents got divorced, brother off to college, best friend moved away. Then one day, dad shows up with glazed donuts and a bombshell announcement that sends Darren spiraling. He heads out the n a road trip to visit his brother.

Told entirely through a series of lists which makes it unique.

Written entirely in list form, this book is not quite as thick as it looks, and is innovative in its new kind of epistolary style.

This summer I fell in love with the characters Aristotle and Dante in #AristotleandDanteDiscovertheSecretsoftheUniverse I'm very close to falling in love with the character of Darren in this book.

Saw this at Anderson's Bookshop yesterday at the ISLMA conference. My turn to pay and the girl behind the register looks at me, smiles and asks, "Did you bring your letter or should I call LaGrange?"
You know you spend way too much time at the bookstore when the girl sent to run things at the conference recognizes you! ?
And I live a 40 minute drive away!

Book giveaway from the Jewish Book Council and Simon & Schuster! :D. I've only ever won one GoodReads giveaway before, alas. This one is 600 pages of YA, but features many lists. Quick read, I bet. I think I'll cover this and other YA stuff in my next booktube vid. Maybe I'll get more stuff!

Started this today. On a two-week contemporary/realistic YA journey for a top ten list of 2015-16 by June 8. Any and all recommendations appreciated! Presentation of said top ten in July. So far, this book will definitely be one of them!
