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.

3.5 stars.

First I was excited about this book. I've enjoyed all the David Levithan's books I've read so far, so why this one would be any different? But then, I read a Nina LaCour's book and did not particularly enjoyed it, and I started to see bad reviews about this one, and I was nervous! So I let it sit on my shelf and move on to other books.

Well, now that I finally read it, I'm glad to say that I did like it! It wasn't mind blowing, and I did get frustrated with a few things happening here, but overall I enjoyed it. We see both Mark and Kate evolving and dealing with relationship and friendship problems that were interesting to read.

It's a short, enjoyable (at least for me) read, but nothing mind blowing.
