We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
4.0

This book for me is interesting because even now I feel like it's slipping through my hands before as I reach out to grab it. Until today I had no recollection of ever touching this book more the to pick it up and consider purchasing it time and time again at Barnes and Noble.
But then I opened the audiobook borrowed from my library to find myself at the end, which was weird. But I just kinda shrugged and restarted it from the beginning.

We all say we wish we could come back to our favorite books and read them again for the first time, that is what this experience was like from beginning to end for me, it felt like coming home to a beloved book but also I had no recollection of what I had read previously it was like I was taking it in for the first time.

I can't say why this book is like water in my hands because while I am consuming it, it feels so real the emotions so relatable, and the impact of finding and choosing your own family being so impactful. The writing is beautiful and makes me both long and be fearful for the winter snow to come.
