The bestselling author of I'm Not Scared "elegizes adolescence fiercely and sympathetically" in a novel that's "scary, lovely and at last a heartbreaker" (Kirkus Reviews).

Lorenzo Cuni is a fourteen-year-old loner. His wealthy parents think he is away on a school skiing trip, but in fact he has stowed away in a forgotten cellar. For a week he plans to live in perfect isolation, keeping the adult world at bay. Then a visit from his estranged half-sister, Olivia, changes everything.

Evoking the fierce intensity and the pulse-quickening creepiness of I'm Not Scared, Ammaniti's bestselling first novel, Me and You is a breathtaking tale of alienation, acceptance, and wanting to be loved by "a fearsomely gifted writer" (The Independent).

"Immensely engaging... Both tender and emotionally arresting, Ammaniti's novel is unforgettable." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Italian author Niccolò Ammaniti does a lot in 160 pages, including surprise, humor, and frighten you -- sometimes simultaneously." -- Daily Candy

"Ammaniti's prose is nimble, perceptive and economical... There's a lot to love about this book -- its reticent empathy, its delicate and pragmatic treatment of addiction, its remarkable use of restricted physical space." -- Full Stop

"Me and You takes a short time to read but offers a memorable experience in a mutual recognition of loneliness and grief." -- Curled Up With a Good Book

"Me And You, at just over one hundred pages... [is a] perfect book... Niccolò Ammaniti disgusts me for how talented he is... He has written a masterpiece." -- Antonio D'Orrico, Corriere della Sera
