Book Title: We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
In this book Marin( main character) is a young woman who had left everything behind to forget her painful past after her only family had died. She ran from her reality and went to her new college in New York somewhere where no one knew her or of her past. Her best friend comes to visit her for 3 days in hopes to convince Marin to move into her parents house for her breaks. Marin does not want to go back to her hometown somewhere where it is filled with memories. I feel like the the theme is grief because she is not grieving as she should. She doesn't seem to want to accept that her grandfather is really dead and in order to do that she pretends as if it never happened and tries to forget about it. Based on the authors tone I feel like she is someone who has probably gone through some very hard things in her life. She is more of a night person than a morning person someone who drinks when she's having a hard time and eats whatever is easiest to cook like toast with avocado, scrambled eggs, etc.
