Waiting on Wednesday: You Know Me Well by Nina Lacour and David Levithan

WoW is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine in which we share the titles we can't wait to release.



You Know Me Well
by Nina Lacour and David Levithan. 256 p. St. Martin's Press, June 7, 2016. 9781250098641.

Publisher synopsis: Who knows you well? Your best friend? Your boyfriend or girlfriend? A stranger you meet on a crazy night? No one, really?


Mark and Kate have sat next to each other for an entire year, but have never spoken. For whatever reason, their paths outside of class have never crossed.

That is until Kate spots Mark miles away from home, out in the city for a wild, unexpected night. Kate is lost, having just run away from a chance to finally meet the girl she has been in love with from afar. Mark, meanwhile, is in love with his best friend Ryan, who may or may not feel the same way.

When Kate and Mark meet up, little do they know how important they will become to each other -- and how, in a very short time, they will know each other better than any of the people who are supposed to know them more.

Told in alternating points of view by Nina LaCour, the award-winning author of Hold Still andThe Disenchantments, and David Levithan, the best-selling author of Every Day and co-author of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (with Rachel Cohn) and Will Grayson, Will Grayson (with John Green), You Know Me Well is a deeply honest story about navigating the joys and heartaches of first love, one truth at a time.

I have loved or admired everything that David Levithan has written. I have not yet had the pleasure of reading Nina LaCour's books. The first two chapters are here. I'm in love already.


What are you waiting on?
