Join Abby White CC’19 for a conversation on her debut novel, D.J. Rosenblum Becomes the G.O.A.T., a heartfelt story about loss, friendship and finding your voice.

It’s the start of a new school year, but nothing feels normal for D.J. Rosenblum. After the death of her cousin Rachel, her family is unraveling, her bat mitzvah has been postponed and she’s been uprooted to a new town — Briar — leaving her best friend behind.

Briar, however, holds secrets of its own. With the help of a chatty journalist, a queen-bee hacker and a cute Torah tutor, D.J. sets out to uncover what really happened to Rachel while figuring out her own place in the world.

For fans of Looking for Alaska and Never Have I Ever, this witty coming-of-age novel explores grief, friendship, first crushes and finding your voice after loss.

All Columbia alumni and students are welcome!
