larakaa 's review for:

We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
3.25
emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I have a hard time rating this. Partly because although I get the problem the protagonist is facing, her actions are so... childish. I know, I know, she's only 18 but still.

That being said, I also have some issues with the structure of the narrative. The constant back and forth between the timelines started to annoy me. I also didn't like the ending so much.

It had some very good parts and grief is a hard topic so it's still a good enough book.
