When Marin was 18, she suffered the sudden and traumatic loss of her grandfather and soon discovered a secret that would change her life forever. Marin spent her childhood growing up with her best friend, Mabel, on San Francisco’s beaches, all while grieving her mother. “We Are Okay” is the story of Marin, a girl who was raised by her grandfather in San Francisco after her mother perished in a surfing accident when Marin was only three years old. After flipping through the pages and finding the description engaging, I decided to give it a go. I decided to expand on my YA novel collection, and I came across “We Are Okay” by Nina Lacour at the bookstore on display in the YA section. Most of my bookshelf is composed of classic YA writers: John Green, Nicola Yoon, Laurie Halse Anderson and countless others. I love relating to another character’s world and having insight into their lives and how their experiences can correlate with my own. Young adult fiction is known for teaching life lessons essential for growing up. I love almost every genre in the reading world, but my favorite genre is realistic fiction, especially for young adults.
