Pick of the Week: You Know Me Well

There are just some people you meet that you feel like you’ve known forever. Some friendships are just easy to pick up, even after significant times apart you feel as though
you are able to pick up right where you left off. This is how You Know Me Well feels, in both tone and actual subject matter. You Know Me Well is the latest work of YA great David Levithan and up-and-comer Nina LaCour.

Kate and Mark go to the same high school and sit next to each other in Calculus, but they’ve never talked. Kate and Mark run into each other in the city on the first night of pride, and an instant friendship is born. There is an unexplainable connection, trust, and understanding between them. Even though graduation is quickly approaching for both of them, life isn’t squared away. Relationships of all sorts are complicated and creating different problems in each of their lives. Mark is in love with his best friend and Kate keeps blowing her chances with the girl of her dreams. They push each other to take chances, have fun, and be their best selves all throughout a crazy adventure.
