Winner of the 2018 Michael L. Printz Award - An achingly beautiful
novel about grief and the enduring power of friendship. "Short,
poetic and gorgeously written." -The New York Times Book Review "A
beautiful, devastating piece of art." -Bookpage 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. Praise for We Are Okay "Nina
LaCour treats her emotions so beautifully and with such empathy."
-Bustle "Exquisite." -Kirkus "LaCour paints a captivating depiction
of loss, bewilderment, and emotional paralysis . . . raw and
beautiful." -Booklist "Beautifully crafted . . . . A quietly
moving, potent novel." -SLJ "A moving portrait of a girl struggling
to rebound after everything she's known has been thrown into
disarray." -Publishers Weekly "Bittersweet and hopeful . . . poetic
and skillfully crafted." -Shelf Awareness "So lonely and beautiful
that I could hardly breathe. This is a perfect book." -Stephanie
Perkins, bestselling author of Anna and the French Kiss "As
beautiful as the best memories, as sad as the best songs, as
hopeful as your best dreams." -Siobhan Vivian, bestselling author
of The Last Boy and Girl in the World "You can feel every peak and
valley of Marin's emotional journey on your skin, in your gut.
Beautifully written, heartfelt, and deeply real." -Adi Alsaid,
author of Never Always Sometimes and Let's Get Lost
