"I was okay just a moment ago. I will learn how to be okay again." 
 It's been a long while since I read this book and after two months I finally wrote my review. 
 I don't read a lot of LGBT novels not because I find them inappropriate but because I am not a huge fan of contemporary stories in general. This book was set in California and I love that place! 
 We Are Okay is such a harrowing read, our main character Marin is an orphan; both of her parents were gone and her grandfather recently passed away. She couldn't stand being alone so she ran away and went to her boarding school earlier than necessary. I don't like the way our main character faced her problems in life, you can only delay the inevitable but you can never ran away from it, but then each and everyone of us has our own way of facing our problems, so I can never really blame Marin for what she's done. 
 The story itself was heartwarming and beautiful, it's inspiring to witness someone on the edge of giving up be pulled and saved by the people around her. 
 I gave this book a 3 star rating because I had trouble getting in to the story but it was such a good read all in all.
