“If only lonely were a more accurate word. It should sound much less pretty.”There are books that roar and scream and radiate power. This is not one of those books. It is a book that shows ultimate strength in its tranquillity. We Are Okay may be a quiet book, but its force will tear you apart and put you back together again. It will give room to your grief, then stroke your hair, hug you tightly and warm your heart piece by piece.By the first page, I was already lost between the pages of this b...
apparently I am still not sad and gay enough to love this one2.5, rtc——————rereading because I hated this in 2017 when I was straight and happy but now I am sad and gay// buddy read with girls with swords lover
Do you ever think about a book and then wonder what the last person who also read it and related to it was doing or if they were okay?Because right now I want to write something but I honestly don't know what to say. My thoughts are lying face down on the floor with passion and I just wish someone could put a blanket over them and tell them they're fine. And I swear it's like every book makes me sad in a different way but really...it’s all the same. So yeah. I guess I'm just going to keep arrang...
This is the kind of book I want to write. Which is a pretty big thing to say, I suppose.What I really appreciated was that Nina LaCour abandoned the idea that a novel has to be entirely plot driven. This is a book about relationships and emotions and I liked being caught up in Marin's brain. I loved that it took place in winter, on an abandoned university campus, where everything amplified Marin's feelings of emptiness and isolation. I like that things like being coloured or queer were present b...
We Are Okay is a book about learning the people you used to love were something beyond what you believed them to be. It is a book about learning to move on. It is a book about learning to be with yourself and be with your grief. It is also a book about loneliness, deep and profound loneliness, cloying and suffocating. In clearer terms, this is a book about Marin, a girl who has lost her grandfather, and in doing so, pushed away her former best friend, Mabel. So when Mabel comes to town, Marin do...
“The trouble with denial is that when the truth comes, you aren’t ready.”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 visi...
”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.”This book was one of the most beautiful books I ever read. Not only because the writing style is amazing but also because there is so much truth in it. The truth can be beautiful, it can be bittersweet, it can be painful and excruciating, it can hurt you
lets talk about grief. and how it affects everyone in different ways. its can slowly creep up on you. it can hit you suddenly and with great intensity. and sometimes its always present, making itself comfortable in your loneliness. its one of those emotions that is difficult to express and, because of that, i applaud this story. grief and loneliness are not pretty feelings, but this novel handles them will care and authenticity. and while the writing in this story is beautiful, grief can be a ve...
Haunting. Stunning. Heart-wrenching. Words are hard. I read this in under 24-hours and feel a little lost, not gonna lie. Nina LaCour, how dare you!? How dare you stomp on my heart with your beautiful, thoughtful story!
brb, crying!
Whyyyyyyy did I put off reading this for so long? I adored it.
(Yes, rereading books with emma is one of the greatest pleasures in my life.)*I am not okay.This book’s title sounds like something I tell people when in reality it’s the exact opposite of what I am.
