We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
5.0
How do I really put into words this story without giving it away....
Let me sum it up like this. This story is about loss. Loss of someone you loved. Loss of who you are. It deals with themes of depression, anxiety, the feeling of losing who you were and trying to figure out who you are. And so much more. The book ends on an interesting note, one I actually didn’t expect.
I almost cried a couple of times during this. I also have to say this book is written how a teenager would speak, how a teenager would process things. I think that’s what made it so relatable to me.
This book is heartbreaking (especially towards the end), but I highly recommend reading it. I would love to see what happens to the characters past the end of this book, but I guess we will never know the answer to that. I am very excited to read more books by Nina LaCour eventually, and I’m happy I took a chance back last summer when I picked this book up and knew nothing about it.
