I just read We Are Okay by Nina LaCour and I have feels…. ALL OF THEM.

This a story about grief and loss but also about healing. A story that portrays all forms that love can take in a really beautiful way.

As someone who has dealt with grief and loss, Marin’s grieving process, thoughts and behaviours come across as extremely genuine.
I wish I had read it at that time because I never read about someone having reactions to it as similar as mine. 
It was like looking in the mirror to be honest.

Another thing I really appreciated was the relationship between Marin and Mabel. How it seems so natural and realistic. I really like how the relationship is put forth, and there is no need for a "coming out” moment.
