ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- “There are many ways of being alone. That’s something I know to be true. I breathe in (stars and sky). I breathe out (snow and trees)."

We Are Okay is a beautiful portrait of grief, loneliness and struggling with your own identity. The story follows the main character Marin after she leaves her home in California to go to College in New York without letting anyone know she had left. Until one winter holiday, a friend form Marin's past comes to visit and helps her come to terms with all that drove her to escape to New York. Chloe Harrington

-----

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 far 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.
