A review by jjuliaagriss
You Know Me Well by Nina LaCour, David Levithan
2.0
My favourite part was actually the last page of the book. It felt appropriate for this coming of age story:
“I don't know if Sky and Wyatt and Greer will become my friends for life or only for these two short days. I don't know if Lehna and I will end up sitting on a porch together, bickering in our old age, or if this week will have been the beginning of a slow fade from each other's lives. I don't know if Violet and I will make it... but I hope so, I hope so. They've all caught up now, at the corner of this street, with the glow of the drugstore only a block in the distance. And we step off the curb, all of us together, as if to say, Here we come-through hard days and good ones, through despair and through exhilaration, in love and out of love, for just now or for forever. Here we come. It's our parade.”
