You Know Me Well by David Levithan, Nina LaCour

5.0

---

I may be biased because... well, David Levithan. But it was such a heartwarming read. I identified with Marc on such a weird level. I'm not a guy and I'm not gay, but love and friendship doesn't know no boundary. And as always, David Levithan knows what to say to make you feel better about a heartbreak. And as always, David Levithan knows how to make you feel better about yourself. And Nina Lacour was a good surprise as well, though I had a few problems with Katie. But towards the end, I really connected with her and loved her for making the right decisions for herself. And I like that Nina Lacour dealt with issues such as not knowing what to do right after high school and how long friendships can come to an end.

This book has powerful messages about teen love, about friendship, about life that goes on and life that has to be figured out.
