You Know Me Well by David Levithan, Nina LaCour
3.0
Real Rating 3.5
So the two main characters and most of the side characters are queer which I think is great but a few of my friends who identify as queer have mentioned that this book has a lot of problems with stereotypes just a heads up going into this novel! During my read of the book, I didn't catch these things but I am not queer but after talking to my peers about it I can definitely see the stereotypes throughout the story!
So I really wanted this to be a one-night adventure type story but even though it wasn't I still really enjoyed the character and their romances. The main female character kind of annoyed me with her self-sabotage and how she constantly put down herself and her art but for me, this wasn't a bad book it just wasn't great!
