Description
A tense, haunting, and emotionally gripping novel, Me and You follows fourteen-year-old Lorenzo, a socially awkward misfit who avoids school bullies by pretending to go on a ski trip—only to secretly hide away in his family’s basement. His solitude is unexpectedly interrupted by his troubled half-sister, Olivia, leading to an uneasy yet transformative connection.
As their worlds collide in a confined space, secrets unravel, and a fragile bond forms between two outsiders longing for acceptance. Ammaniti’s sharp prose masterfully captures the intensity of adolescence, the weight of family dysfunction, and the universal need for love and belonging.
