We Are Okay
We Are Okay | Nina LaCour
From the award-winning author ofHold Still comes an achingly beautiful novel about grief and the enduring power of friendship. "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. Mabel is coming to visit and Marin will be forced to face everything that s been left unsaid and finally confront the loneliness that has made a home in her heart. An intimate whisper that packs an indelible punch, We Are Okay is Nina LaCour at her finest. This gorgeously crafted and achingly honest portrayal of grief will leave you urgent to reach across any distance to reconnect with the people you love."

Wow. This book has been on my shelf forever, and has has shown up on my #bookspinbingo lists for at least the past year. So why did I wait? This was a beautiful exploration of grief, loss, betrayal.. and of slowly working your way back, of letting go of the dark and lonely feelings. Beautiful.

“ I don‘t know why, but I feel something happened to her, like there‘s pain behind her smile.I felt it the first time…I wonder if there‘s a secret current that connects people who have lost something. Not in the way that everyone loses something,but in the way that undoes your life, undoes your self, so that when you look at your face, it isn‘t yours anymore.” — Marin thinking about the pottery store woman. #14books14weeks #week2 #grief

Honestly this book came up short. I needed more. I needed more information, a longer book, and more character details. It was a very short read and I just feel as if it could‘ve been in more detail.

"It's a dark place, not knowing. It's difficult to surrender to. But I guess it's where we live most of the time. I guess it's where we all live, so maybe it doesn't have to be so lonely. Maybe I can settle into it, cozy up to it, make a home inside uncertainty."

A heartfelt book describing the journey of grief from Marin‘s perspective. So far it feels realistic depiction and the storyline feels real and something that I believe many people can relate to 💕

Marin finds out the grandpa who raised her isn‘t who she thought he was & leaves town with just her phone & wallet. Marin hasn‘t spoken to anyone from her hometown since the day she left, now it‘s winter break of freshman year of college & her best friend who might have been more, is coming to visit her. this was alright. short, & I feel like Marin could have got answers from other places but decided to just focus on her grandpa but I digress.

Intelligence, just a Quick thought, that immediately came to my mind after I finished this book:

If it‘s such a problem that she doesn‘t know nothing about her mother, why doesn‘t she go and ask one of the numerous surfers 🏄🏽 that she “visits” at the beach and who seemingly all know her. There must al#t least be some that knew her mother❓🤔

Finished this 1-2 weeks ago and still tend to rate it between a “So-So” and a “Pan”. Mostly because I obviously don‘t learn how much I have outgrown this genre. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I loved that Marin was raised by her grandfather but the details very quickly became implausible for me. I felt that that‘s not how “people” live. And the end showed me that I was right because most story line decisions were only made for “the effect”.

But: I fell for the cover.

Short, sweet, and to the point- but with a powerful message. It‘s about grief, deep loneliness, and how to feel when you learn a person you love isn‘t exactly who you thought they were. It‘s about how pain, tragedy, and betrayal changes someone. Beautiful book!

This was a quick YA read that I really enjoyed. It‘s about loss and friendship and grieving. I really appreciated this book because it showed how difficult it can be to feel alone when you lose someone you love. It just showed a lot of different sides to being young and having to navigate through a tragic experience. The writing was beautiful and the story was strong.

WJCintron Is it soo sad! I've been dying to read it for so long, but I don't want to feel destroyed by it. If that makes any sense. 2y
Victoriahoperose @WJCintron it is sad but it‘s not the saddest book I‘ve ever read (definitely not as sad as The Fault in Our Stars). It wasn‘t as bad as I was expecting, but it was bleak in parts. 2y

This is the second time I've read this book, and I am still at a loss to write even an adequate review. How do you review a book when you have no words and too many words at the same time? Nina LaCour's writing is affecting and beautiful. I definitely recommend.

For most of this book, I thought it would be a so-so. But at the end, it got really good. I haven‘t read many sad books. The only other one I read was just depressing, but this book was sad in a good way. There were many parts where I almost cried (I don‘t cry easily), and overall the book was really enjoyable. It focuses on Marin dealing with here grandfather‘s death, and how alone she is at college. Great book. 5🌟

This is possible because as much as I suffered from solitude a few times in my life, I now live with the constant company of my eight family members which makes it hard to feel lonely. I have also never grieved in the way our protagonist does but that's because I have never lost someone that I cherished. Maybe this book was just something that I needed to read later in my life when I have felt lost and live in solitude.

Hold Still was one of the first books, where after I read the author's note and closed the book, I cried. I was tearful for at least ten minutes and had the hardest time composing myself. I started We Are Okay with the mindset that it be a sad read and it was, just not relatable enough to me for me to make a strong emotional bond with the characters. (Part 1)

I wanted to share with my Litsy family that I quit my job and am going to start a new chapter. Suffice it to say it became a really bad work environment, and I decided enough was enough. It will be weird to not be working at a school when the leaves change colors! BUT I am going to go back and finish my M.Ed. in English, and I‘m excited! I get to take my final class and write a thesis, which I think will incorporate diverse middle grade lit. ⬇️

LiteraryinLawrence Ironically, I had just finished transforming our guest bedroom into a home office for me. So now it will be the perfect place to study and write! The tagged book is both a mantra for myself right now and one of the select few books I brought up to keep me company in my office. The picture also shows art created for me by @TheArtsierTheBeckster and @BennettBookworm and my first ever plants, Kate and Maisie. 💗 Here‘s to a wonderful fall for all. 4y

Only two books read this week but one of em was 992 pages. 🤪 It was a great ride though! I do love losing myself in a huge fantasy world. We Are Okay is a sad and lovely little book. I really enjoyed it and I think I‘ll remember it for a long time, the imagery and sense of place was really strong.

“She leans over our table and turns the sign in the window so that it says CLOSED on the outside. But on our side, perfectly positioned between Mabel‘s place and mine, it says OPEN. If this were a short story, it would mean something.”

Wow, I loved this!

Marin‘s Gramps disappeared just before she left for college. It‘s Christmas break, and Marin has spent the last several months deeply depressed and unable to process her emotions. Her best friend/ high school sweetheart Mabel comes to visit her in her dorm, and Marin begins the difficult process of coming to terms with her grief.

This was so sad and beautiful. It hits hard at the beginning, but softens as you read on. 💔❤️

I listened to the audio version of this.
What I liked: I‘m thankful that I chose to listen to this story rather than read it. I had never read a Nina LaCour book before so I hadn‘t realized how musical her prose is. This was a quiet and at times, heartbreaking story, but the entire time I was enchanted by the narration.

⭐️⭐️💫🎧2020.04.09 — I probably couldn‘t have picked a worse time to read this. It was way too depressing to deal with at this point in time. That said, my review should probably be taken with a grain of salt. I found the story dragged on and on. Could‘ve probably been written in half the words. The ending worked out in the end but it was a long road to get there it was long.

This was a short audiobook, but it still took me 10 days to get through. I don't know why I wasn't feeling it. It was beautifully written and thoughtful but I was never clamoring to get back to it.

The acknowledgments at the end captivated me more than the story itself. Maybe had I listened to those first, I would have understood how this story corresponds to the author's life and enjoyed it more.

This might have been a pick at a different time.

Unpopular opinion: I didn‘t like it. It bored me. I found the tone of the book overwrought, and Marin was so passive and . . . boring. I could not connect with her and her choices were incomprehensible to me. I know that many, many people found this book life changing and were left dehydrated at the end by all of the copious weeping, but I was just—did I already mention the boredom? Don‘t go by me, though. I‘m definitely in the minority! 😁

Redwritinghood I wasn‘t a fan either, so it‘s not just you. 4y

The cover has me expecting that it is a good story.

1ReVeluvY After the day her grandpa went missing and discovered secrets while in search for him, she flew to New York earlier than she was supposed to. Marin thought escaping the pain and forgetting everything that happened would heal her.However, it is a harder process to accomplish especially when you are not surrounded by those who loved you. Marin was afraid of the truth and regret. 4y
1ReVeluvY Her grandpa was lonely despite Marin's presence when they lived together. He kept all grief and memories about his daughter for himself since remembering the past was painful. Therefore, Marin was not aware of what her mother was like before she drowned when Marin was little. It turns out that her grandpa was lying about letters that he “received“ from Birdie but it was actually him writing back to himself. Birdie was the name of Marin's mother. (edited) 4y
1ReVeluvY Using the ATM card her grandfather prepared for college outside of California, Marin found a motel to stay in, not informing anyone about her whereabouts. She was afraid that gramps was a stranger, afraid how he hated him but wanted him back at the same time, and if he even loved her. Marin was afraid that anything and the time spent with him were all lies. Therefore, she chose to settle with uncertainty because regret and truth. (edited) 4y
See All 7 Comments
1ReVeluvY During December break, months after that summer of tragedy with her sick grandfather and him suspectedly drowning, Mabel came to visit Marin at her dorm, hoping her stay for a few days, trying to convince Marin to come back home at least for a few days. Mabel is Marin's best friend but Marin had never spoken to anyone she knew before he grandfather died. It took some time for Marin to open up about what happened. 4y
1ReVeluvY There was not much relief in revealing what happened because all that was left for her to release the burden was to confront what took place herself. When she thought Mabel had gone back to California and regret once again for not going with her, Mabel came back with her parents. They spent the holidays together and Marin was thankful for the love she was surrounded with. Ana, Mabel's mom, and Marin's conversation helped Marin remind herself that 4y
1ReVeluvY she is still herself. Since Marin had not endured tragedy, heartbreak, and betrayal, she has not changed. Ana helped her remember the feeling of having a mother the night this conversation occurred. After all the support, Marin says yes because another chance was given as she remembers a memory of her mom.

(edited) 4y
1ReVeluvY Notes:
*She didn't know that her grandpa was lonely the time they spent time together. She didn't know she was alone for longer than she thought.

Gramps loved her and did his best to be with her despite grieving.
