You Know Me Well is a new teen book by acclaimed YA fiction authors Nina LaCour and David Levithan.

The story revolves around two characters, Mark and Kate, and the chapters of the book alternate between the two as narrators as the story unfolds.

Both are yearning for something bigger than what their lives are as the last week of high school hangs over their head.

We begin on a wild and fateful night at a club during Pride Week in San Francisco when Kate and Mark see each other and realize they know each other from school. In fact they sit next to each other in a class. “Why is he here,” she wonders. “Why is she here,” he wonders. Kate happened to be there hiding from meeting the girl of her dreams named Violet. And Mark was there with his best friend (and secret love interest) Ryan enjoying Pride festivities. At the time Kate and Mark had no idea of how much they would come to mean to each other, but this chance meeting changes the lives of all involved.

With a new found friendship the two and their band of misfit pals learn a lot that week about first love, friendship, fitting in, and what the end of high school means.
