WE ARE OKAY
By Nina LaCour
Published by Dutton Books for Young Readers -- an imprint of Penguin Young Readers -- Nina LaCour's We Are Okay has won the 2018 Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature. "In luminous, spare prose, LaCour folds literary and artistic references into an intimate, haunting story of betrayal and grief,” said Printz Award Committee Chair Angela Carstensen.
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 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 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.
