We Are Okay by Nina LaCour

3.0

The book follows Marin over the period of four days (but also flashbacks of a few months?), seeing her best friend for the first time in 4 months after she fled the state and moved across the country. The theme of the book is closely centered around grief, about losing someone, losing the idea of someone, and losing yourself. It really was a beautiful book, but the combination of it being in both the first person AND present tense made it feel kinda awkward to read. For the last 20% of the book (thank you kindle) I did cry, like the whole goddamn time, as Marin finally explained the strange end to her grandfathers life and big lies. But lesbians!
