i love katie, i love mark, i love their friendship. wlw and mlm solidarity. 

this was so sweet and pure, the importance of friendships and the how they are as important (if not more) than romantic relationships. the whole time i was reading this, i could picture it being a movie and i am desperate for it. i think it would heal my lonely gay teenage self

I did say it was going to be a five star read, but towards the end, I had to deduct a .5 because I feel like this book is truly unfinished. Such a great story with an amazing tone and setting to go with it. The writing was impeccable but the ending was just too abrupt.

Fast, engaging, fun read. A sweet meditation on friendship in varying forms and what it means to learn about oneself. Plus I love everything that David Levithan writes, and I'm excited to have been exposed to Nina LaCour!

This book needs to get the Love, Simon treatment ASAP.

Heartfelt at times, or corny, this was a solid Pride themed read.

The solidarity between Mark and Kate was cute but overall this wasn’t my favorite read.

Thank you to netgalley and St. Martin's Griffin for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is going to be a short review as I don't feel like I have much to say about this. It was really sweet and I enjoyed it so much more than I expected to.

You Know Me Well follows two people who go to the same school but aren't friends who meet at Pride and decide to be friends after their love lives seem to be sinking.
