We Are Okay by Nina LaCour

5.0

I binged this short book in one sitting! This was a beautifully written portrayal of loneliness, friendship, and grief. I cried multiple times while reading this book and kept having put it down for a second to process my emotions. The story definitely made me appreciate the family I have and also made me miss my grandparents dearly. I found Marin to be incredibly relatable with her struggle with depression, anxiety, and loneliness. This novel definitely shows that a story can be character driven without much of a plot and still be wonderful. I can’t wait to read more of Nina LaCour’s books now. If you’re looking for an emotional read with queer representation, this book is for you!
