We have a switching narrative between the past and future, which adds tremendously to the ongoing intrigue. There’s simply so much to love about We Are Okay that I’m feeling slightly overwhelmed writing this, but thankfully lists exist for me to break it down point by point: This book came so unexpectedly into my life, but I’m eternally grateful that it did so. “If our past selves got a glimpse of us now, what would they make of us?” 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. Now, months later, alone in an emptied dorm for winter break, Marin waits. 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. No one knows the truth about those final weeks. Marin hasn’t spoken to anyone from her old life since the day she left everything behind. “The trouble with denial is that when the truth comes, you aren’t ready.”
