Acclaimed cartoonist K. Wroten’s latest graphic novel, Everyone Sux But You, offers a layered portrait of two queer teenage girls as they juggle the complexities around romantic attraction, grief, and going to school in a small town. As high school senior Carson Flynn struggles to cope with her mother’s death, she bonds with her friend Ash over a mutual love of punk rock and a disdain for their classmates. Then their friendship begins to grow into something deeper and more complicated. In this 14-page excerpt, Carson hangs out at Ash’s home, bantering and joking with Ash and her mom, Julie, as the teens prepare for a night out. Everyone Sux But You by K. Wroten is out now from Henry Holt.
