![]() ![]() I sometimes heard I, Yi, Yi as I read it and there were a few times I had to sort out whether the scene described was a flashback or not, but all in all, I enjoyed the book. LaCour writes the story in first person, present tense from Marin's point of view (tough to write). It would appeal to young women in high school and college. I found the story touching, heartfelt, and real. Marin explores her sexuality, tries to come to terms with her grandfather's death and why he acted so strangely, and sorts out her friendship with Mabel and her family, the people who love her dearly. The two of them reconnect as they rehash the past and get caught in a winter storm. Despite the rejection, Mabel comes to visit her in her dorm room. Marin ignores all the emails and text messages Mabel sends her. ![]() ![]() The grief is so great it causes her to reject her surrogate family and best friend by moving from California to the west coast to go to college. In We Are Okay Marin loses the only family member she has left, her grandfather who she has lived with since her mother died. ![]()
