We Are Okay by Nina LaCour, 234 pages
Marin has had a hard first semester at school. Several events took place right before she
left, including the death of her only family member, her grandfather. Marin is staying in the dorm over the
Christmas break and Mabel, her former best friend, comes to see her. As we move through the three days
encompassing her visit, many secrets are revealed about exactly how hard her
grandfather’s death was and why, and how everything is tied up with a brief
romance with Mabel. This book was
amazing and difficult and messy and I loved it.
I would give this to any teen who likes realistic fiction, but it will
probably resonate more with girls.
