I really liked the focus on the formative years of identity, and how being in that stage of your life where you're trying to find yourself is complicated so much by also trying to understand your queer identity. I related to them both a lot, but also felt quite Seen because it's really rare to have queer friends in books. I always say queer people travel in packs and the friendship between the two really resonated with me. The friendship between Mark and Kate was my favourite thing about this. Kate is in love with a girl she barely knows, and Mark is in love wish his best best friend Ryan who may or may not know. They run into eachother in the city one night and realise, over one wild night, that they do have some things on common. You Know Me Well follows Kate and Mark, who sit next to eachother in class and never talk. I read it pretty much in one sitting and enjoyed all of it so much. I loved the friendship between Mark and Kate, a lesbian and gay character and just how this whole book played out. To be honest, this was the exact kind of queer book I needed and I didn't even realise that until I read it. This book had the most iconic mlm/wlw solidarity and I am HERE FOR IT. I'm ready to find myself, but I'm not ready for you to know what I find” “I'm ready to love myself, but I'm not ready to lose you.
