About the Author
Tom Ellen and Lucy Ivison met at the end of high school and quickly became sweethearts. Though they broke up in college, they remain best friends. Lucy is a librarian at a girls' school in central London, where she gets most of her inspiration. Tom is a journalist and has written for Time Out, Vice, ESPN, Glamour, and many other publications. Their first book, A Totally Awkward Love Story, was partially inspired by their own high school relationship, with Tom writing Sam's chapters and Lucy writing Hannah's. Freshmen is their second novel together. Tom and Lucy live in the UK, and you can follow her on Twitter at @lucyivison.
Reviews
PRAISE FOR FRESHMEN

"Ellen and Ivison absolutely nail teen dialogue, taking readers on a laugh-out-loud-funny journey through the ups and sometimes horrifying downs of freshman year. Flirty, bawdy, sloppy, and buckets of fun." --Booklist

"Marked by a refreshing absence of mean girl drama, well-rounded and caring boy characters, fluid writing, expert pacing, and genuine humor...full of heart." --Kirkus Reviews

"Captures the central experiences of starting college...[an] entertaining novel." --Publishers Weekly

"[For] readers looking ahead to the tumult and triumph of being away from home and "adulting"...An engrossing story enhanced by its timely connection to the #MeToo movement." --SLJ

"Readers will experience a wild ride through a tumultuous first semester. Those heading to college--or even thinking about it--will appreciate the realistic yet sharply humorous portrayal of two people trying to find themselves and their way forward." --VOYA
