    About this audiobook

    Winner of the 2018 Michael L. Printz Award — 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.

      This book broke my heart but filled me with love for life too? I felt all kinds of emotions, positive emotions and negative ones too. I think this is what makes a book perfect.

    • 4/5
      We follow our main character Marin, who has recently changed her life 100% leaving the past behind but missing a lot of things from it. She moved to oNew York without explaining the reasons or the things she lived before she decided to leave, but months later, Mabel, her best friend, goes to visit her and Marin needs to face her past and try to fix the holes in her heart.

      I adored this book. Its a really quiet story but its full of feelings. Its a story about life changes, about coping with death, betrayal, and loss.
      Its a character driven book and a hearthbreaking story, its a strong book and I will recommend it.
