You Know Me Well

I mean, this was not what I wanted or what I expected at all. I adore David Levithan's books, and what I've read of Nina LaCour is great too, but this just ... wasn't.

It felt rushed, and forced, and my goodness was there too much insta-love in this novel. I love the premise but the execution was not on the standard that I know Levithan and LaCour could write.

Sure, it's cute and it's fluffy and it's an LGBT novel which is always great, but I kept waiting and waiting for my mind to change, I WANTED to be blown away, but it never happened. ):

I read this book all through out my local pride week (my first!!) and it couldn't have come out at a better time. It's the feelings of post graduation terror, some DEEP soul searching, desperation for love, and that fulfillment when you finally find a place that at the moment in your life, feels like home. I honestly can't say enough good about this book and how it was exactly what I needed right now. I definitely recommend especially as a pride week read!
