You go through life thinking there’s so much you need… Until you leave with only your phone, your wallet, and a picture of your mother. Marin hasn’t spoken to anyone from her old life since the day she left everything behind. No one knows the truth about those final weeks. Not even her best friend, Mabel. But even thousands of miles away from the California coast, at college in New York, Marin still feels the pull of the life and tragedy she’s tried to outrun. Now, months later, alone in an emptied dorm for winter break, Marin waits.

Wow what a beautiful review!! Thanks so much for writing this, we are okay is going straight on my want to read!This book was everything to me. "'Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can."' You go through life thinking there's so much you need. Your favorite jeans and sweater. The jacket with the faux-fur lining to keep you warm. Your phone and your music and your favorite books. Mascara. Irish Breakfast tea and cappuccinos from Trouble Coffee. You need your yearbooks, every stiffly posed
The person who will like this book is a very particular one.If you dont like character-driven stuff, STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS BOOK. No, seriously. Leave this review right now, even. There is not even a question of you possibly liking this book. SO GET OUT OF HERE, OKAY?Just kidding. You can stay if you want. But only if its for my charming personality and not for a potential recommendation.Okay. Now I am going to try to make A Point that is perched on a very thin line. And I will almost certainly
The trouble with denial is that when the truth comes, you arent ready.Marin hasnt spoken to anyone from her old life since the day she left everything behind. No one knows the truth about those final weeks. Not even her best friend, Mabel. But even thousands of miles away from the California coast, at college in New York, Marin still feels the pull of the life and tragedy shes tried to outrun.

I was okay just a moment ago. I will learn how to be okay again.this book feels like a journal to me. i felt like Nina LaCour just ransacked my bedroom and found my nonexistent journal and was like "hmm well she's sad and gay so let's make a book about that" and the rest is history.i feel like 2018 is the year i finally read books by the authors i've been wanting to read for years. Maggie, Adam, Schwab, Becky, et cetera. and now, it's nina!! i've been interested in her books ever since
Life is paper-thin and fragile. Any sudden change could rip it wide-open. Seems like I'm getting books based on loneliness in this month. Anyway, this book was fine. Having no certain plot but still not a bad book. CHARACTERS Marin (the main character & orphan & raised by her grandfather).Mabel (her best friend).The book mostly revolves arround them. This book is about Marin living in dorms even though it's winter break. She doesn't go back to her home because she doesn't wanna
This is the kind of book I want to write. Which is a pretty big thing to say, I suppose.What I really appreciated was that Nina LaCour abandoned the idea that a novel has to be entirely plot driven. This is a book about relationships and emotions and I liked being caught up in Marin's brain. I loved that it took place in winter, on an abandoned university campus, where everything amplified Marin's feelings of emptiness and isolation. I like that things like being coloured or queer were present
