 Review: Here I come writing a review for this book after watching Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 7, so I certainly am happy and so high therefore, I might sound drunk here. 
 Anyway, this book has been on my to-read shelf for awhile before I picked it up. I saw a mixed review on the book, but I really really wanted to pick it up still because the cover is gorgeous with that blue and pink colors together. Before I read this, I wasnaEUR(tm)t expecting myself to like this book as much as I do now. 
 We Are Okay is a book about a girl named Marin and she is grieving on the loss of her grandfather and whatever she finds after that. She lost her mother at a very young age and she grew up with her grandfather, who himself is grieving. After she moved into college dorm on her own, her life has been cut loose and changed. Until her best friend Mabel comes to visit her on her holiday. 
 The writing was so exquisitely beautiful and well-written. It gave a certain vibe, which I found very sad. It took some time to get through and although this book is very thin, I took 2 days and a night to finish it. It represented a personaEUR(tm)s point of view of depression very well. I totally adored how very descriptive it was just from MarinaEUR(tm)s POV that she observed everything around, which also reminded me a lot about tumblr poetry (if that makes sense). 
 I personally think that this book would be worth a try if you like books on mental illness and/or have that devastating vibe to it. Everyone thinks that this book is a light book to read and I kind of disagree? My heart sank every time when Marin talked about her past life or just her life in general. I felt like I was on the verge of crying every time and I would if I gave in. It flipped back and forth between the past and present to depict how Marin had been to how she was feeling when she was in college. I needed to take a break at the end of each chapter to let it sink in and I did not want to pick it up again for this book being such a perfect demonstration of depression. Of course everyone has different experience, but I could relate to Marin in a way. At the end, she sort of let people in and I was bawling my eyes because it was okay. And I know that it will be. 
 I canaEUR(tm)t say much about the characters because this book showed only two specific characters and only a side of them (in the present by the way). Marin was a happy girl in the past and had the love that she wanted. But present Marin is also undetermined-able since weaEUR(tm)ve got to see only the depressed side of her. 
 Overall: IaEUR(tm)m glad I picked this book up and I really liked it. I got the meaning of it and I hope everyone who reads it loves it as I do.
