Listen, sometimes you graduate from college, panic about your future, land a job, and move to a new city and even though you’re reading a couple books a month you forget about the whole reviewing part. I’ve still got 6 more reviews to write from May-September reads, but here are a few from May and October. (I wrote half of the May ones in May so they might be a little outdated. A group of housewives in a suburb of Charleston, SC in the 90s […]

“I learn that I am a tiny piece of a miraculous world.”

We Are Okay by Nina LaCour

March 28, 2019 by faintingviolet 3 Comments

I struggled with this book for quite a while. For reasons I now don’t remember I believed this book to be a graphic novel and had filed it as such as a different task for Read Harder challenge than I eventually recorded it under. Then, once I began reading it for what it truly was, I found myself struggling through the chapters. Marin the protagonist is in such a low place, and Nina LaCour writes it so well that I felt myself being pulled under […]

A Moving Look at Grief, Love, and Friendship

We are Okay by Nina LaCour

December 2, 2018 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

We Are Okay by Nina LaCour My rating: 5 of 5 stars “We Are Okay” explores grief, discovering a dark secret about someone, and transitions in life. Heavy stuff. In fact, I was worried I would hate this book because I tend to read for entertainment not to be confronted with topics such as these. However, Nina LaCour weaves characters, emotions, and a mysterious plot into a very good read. The book is organized in which we start in the present and then flashback to […]

Thank you, Julie Murphy, for continuously not sucking.

Meet Cute by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Dhonielle Clayton, Katie Cotugno, Jocelyn Davies, Huntley Fitzpatrick, Nina LaCour, Emery Lord, Katharine McGee, Kass Morgan, Julie Murphy, Meredith Russo, Sara Shepard, Nicola Yoon, Ibi Zoboi

I’m sorry to say that Meet Cute was my biggest reading disappointment of 2018 so far. It had everything I thought I wanted: how-we-met short stories from some of the best YA authors out there — including Julie freaking Murphy — and a recommendation from Rainbow Rowell. I assumed it would be a delight. And some of it was. I had never heard of Ibi Zoboi, but her story “Hourglass” was my favorite of the bunch. She told a story about Cherish, a tall African-American […]

“The trouble with denial is that when the truth comes, you aren’t ready.”

We are Okay by Nina LaCour

May 30, 2017 by scootsa1000 Leave a Comment

I’ve been somewhat slow with my reviews lately, mostly because the books that I’ve been reading have taken me a bit of time to process. In fact, I’m not quite sure I’m done figuring them out yet. I first saw We are Okay at the library on the new YA shelf. The cover drew me in, it had those same dreamy pinks and blues as the Paper Girls cover, and it just looked so familiar to me. Going in to read it, I had no […]

“I feel it – I’ve been living in a world, but what I have is a universe”

You Know Me Well by Nina LaCour, David Levithan

July 25, 2016 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

Caitlin_D wrote a review for this one like, 24 hours after I picked it up from the library. Her review was pretty meh, but I already had the book so I figured I might as well read it. And I felt pretty meh about it, too. “I’m ready to lose myself, but I’m not ready to lose you. I’m ready to find myself, But I’m not ready for you to know what I find.” You Know Me Well alternates between two teenage narrators: Kate, who’s about […]
