We Are Okay is definitely one of my favorite reads of 2017 so far. And as much as I wanted it to keep going (as I became emotionally invested in these characters), I think it was the perfect length. I felt that nothing was too drawn out and I understand what Marin was going through without it being repetitive at all. Also, I loved Marin as the main character. She just felt so normal and I loved her interests and I felt like I really understood the emotions she was going through. Nina LaCour's writing was so well executed in this novel, everything was paced wonderfully, and like I said, I really understood what the characters felt and ahhh the tears near the end of the novel are what really made me realize how much I loved this book. It also served as a reminder as to why I'm a contemporary girl at hear. 
 I really how it incorporated diverse elements, such as LBTQ love interests and (view spoiler)[mental illness (hide spoiler)], but they didn't make up the entirety of the novel. I wasn't expecting how much this book would be about family but I loved it. Going to this novel, I thought the only family element would get was something about Marin's mom (being that the description of the book says that her mom's photos is one of the only thing she takes). I love how I had to actually read most of the book (not just the first two chapters like usual) to understand the description. I totally recommend going into this book blind, not knowing the description won't ruin your experience at all. The cover of this novel is also really beautiful and aesthetically pleasing so that should be enough for you to pick it up right now. 
 After reading We Are Okay, I really want to read another one of Nina Labour's books soon. Like right now please, thank you.
