We Are Okay by Nina LaCour

4.0

3.5 because I listened to the audiobook and kept tuning in and out of the story. I might need to re-read this as a physical copy.

i liked the book and how cozy vibes it gives the writing was smooth and good but in the middle it gets so long it kept delaying the plot and the ending left me overthinking i thought it’s less than what should have been shown but to say again it was a good read!!

"She peels an orange, separates it in perfect halves, and gives one of them to me. If I could wear it like a friendship bracelet, I would. Instead I swallow it section by section and tell myself it means even more this way. To chew and to swallow in silence here with her. To taste the same thing in the same moment."

when i tell y'all i'm devastated...

the hype around lacour's writing is well-deserved, as its simplicity and vulnerability drew immense emotion out of me, and before i knew it i was crying... pretty often throughout this book (but in all honesty, i've generally been in an emotional blackhole where any semblance of sadness gets sucked in and extended). for a 200-ish page book, i went through a ROLLERCOASTER of emotions and felt every single crucial moment so deeply sdalfjsdjf thank u nina lacour for giving me a good reason to cry lmao

did not shake my soul but i still shed many a tear at the end

lots of cozy, warm feelings coupled with a vast and looming feeling of emptiness nd loneliness.
