Vas por la vida pensando que hay tantas cosas que necesitas tener...hasta que te quedas solo con tu teléfono, tu cartera y una foto de tu madre.

Marin no ha vuelto a hablar con nadie de su antigua vida desde el día que decidió dejar todo atrás. Nadie sabe la verdad. Ni siquiera su mejor amiga, Mabel. Pero incluso a miles de kilómetros de la costa de California, en Nueva York, Marin todavía siente el peso de la tragedia de la que ha tratado de huir.

Ahora, meses más tarde, a solas en un dormitorio vacío, durante las vacaciones de invierno, Marin espera. Mabel está a punto de llegar, y con su llegada, Marin se verá forzada a enfrentar todo aquello que ha tratado de olvidar.

¿Estamos okey? Un verano para recordar es Nina LaCour en su máximo esplendor, con una representación del duelo magníficamente elaborada y dolorosamente honesta. Imprescindible.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Nina LaCour's award-winning, achingly beautiful novel!

Winner of the Michael L. Printz Award

"Short, poetic, and gorgeously written." -The New York Times Book Review

You go through life thinking there's so much you need. . . . Until you leave with only your phone, your wallet, and a picture of your mother.

Marin hasn't spoken to anyone from her old life since the day she left everything behind. No one knows the truth about those final weeks. Not even her best friend, Mabel.

But even thousands of miles away from the California coast, at college in New York, Marin still feels the pull of the life and tragedy she's tried to outrun. Now, months later, alone in an emptied dorm for winter break, Marin waits. Mabel is coming to visit, and Marin will be forced to face everything that's been left unsaid and finally confront the loneliness that has made a home in her heart.

An intimate whisper that packs an indelible punch, We Are Okay is Nina LaCour at her finest. This gorgeously crafted and achingly honest portrayal of grief will leave you urgent to reach across any distance to reconnect with the people you love.
