Wish I could have read the whole thing, instead of just a sneak peak!

I am already hooked by the story. The characters are so interesting and complex, the relationships are as well. I definitely want to see where the story will go. I hope for more flashbacks with her grandpa in them too. I can't wait to get my hands on a full copy of this.

Interesting intro to what promises to be great writing with a relatable storyline. The portion I read drew me in to Marin's life and troubles leaving me with the strong desire to find out more.

The reviews in the beginning make me think that the YA story will be relatable to many and that the writing stays on it's engaging course. This is a book I will definitely purchase to give me closure on the questions I have hanging over my head concerning Marin's journey and resolution. Good job!

So I have seen plenty of people talking about this book for a while. I went in not knowing anything about the book. I have to say I was intrigued by the cover of the book. I overall enjoyed this sneak peak. I thought the story was interesting. I really want to pick this up soon. I want to know more about Marin and Mabel's relationship. I have some predictions for this book and I would love to see if they end up playing out or if things end up going differently. It is a little bit of a sad story but not everything has to be happy. I do hope there ends up being a happy outcome. I really can't wait to find out what happens next.

Loved this sneak peek! I can't wait to read this book ASAP. It is fantastic!!

The little bit I read I really liked! I will need to wait and read the rest before a proper review.

I enjoyed this sample. I am excited to read the remainder of this novel. Very interesting story!

What an amazing glimpse into the raw pain that this young woman is living through. I can not wait to read the rest of this book! I was so disappointed when my "Sneak peak" ended!

I had heard a lot of good things about this book, so I jumped at the chance to read this excerpt. However, I realized that I didn't really know anything about this book at all. After this brief sample, I'm far more intrigued. I can't wait to read the full book when it comes out!

Only a preview/sneak peek is available, so it's hard to review a partial book because I'm not privy to the whole story. The writing is stellar and the descriptions rich with details. I very much enjoyed this author's ability to write. Having said that, however, I found that the book starts out too slow. I get that the story should build, but I found myself wondering why it is taking so long for her friend to get to the dorm. Once her friend arrives, it seems like the story starts to pick up the pace and I have a stronger sense of the conflict that might unfold. For this genre, I think the pacing should be much quicker. I will need to buy this book to see what happens next because the sneak peek ended too soon. :).

This was such a beautiful glimpse into the book. There is something special about Marin that draws you into her world. There is a isolated loneliness, surrounded by mystery that her voice is dying to be heard. They mystery of her past is one that makes this worth diving into to see what happens.

I am intrigued by his sneak peek. I really like this author, so I figured it was worth a try. Now I'm super curious about what is going on and already into these characters who are barely introduced in such a short snippet, and I need to get the full book!

I usually stay away from sneak peeks or samplers - it's either all or nothing for me. But this one was an exception. I adore Nina LaCour & seriously loved "Everything Leads to You." I've been excited about "We Are Okay" since buzz abut it's release started & jumped at the chance to read a small portion of it. Needless to say, I enjoyed this little tidbit immensely &, as it was released yesterday, I will be picking it up soon to finish!

I have had We Are Okay by Nina LaCour on my book to buy list for weeks now and I can’t wait to buy it. So when I found a Sampler chap on Netgalley, I was like it can’t hurt to see if I like the book. I downloaded the sampler immediately. So here is my thoughts and feelings on the story so far.


The first things I notice about the sampler is that Nina, really draws you into this hauntingly descriptive story. I love that Nina is so descriptive, it makes me want to read the rest of the story. (which I will be doing as soon as I can). I could tell from the beginning of the sampler, that this story was about Mental Illness or something close to it. Only after sneaking around Goodreads, (by the way my Goodreads is link below, Shameless Plug,) that this story is actually about Grief, something that is personal to me. Nina’s writing was so good that I read the ebook sampler in one sitting, I can’t wait for the actual book. I love the eerie calm descriptiveness of the book, it attracts me even more. Of course I will have a better review up when I have read the actual book.(Personally, I retain more information from an actual book.)


So as for this sampler, right now I would totally give it a four out of five stars. I love the cover of the book, I feel like the colors and the way they are laid out fit the book so well. As I said I will be back with a bigger review when Ive read the book. All of the information for this author and the book will be listed below, as well as my information.

I love Nina LaCour and I am extremely excited for We Are Okay! The sneak pee wasn't nearly enough, but I am a patient girl & my finished copy is coming to me in the mail. I love everything Nina does & I am sure this will be no different once I finish the entire book!

Only got to read the sample so far, but I can't wait to read the rest. I pre-ordered it so it should be coming today! Love all of Nina LaCour's books.

Thank you.
Enjoyed it.
Will purchase copies for family and friends.

I read only an excerpt, but I'm so thankful this is coming out on Tuesday so I can read the whole novel! Even in the short section I read, the characters seemed like real people, and I cared about their problems. I recommended this for purchase at my library, but it's likely that we would have bought it anyway; LaCour is an excellent writer.

I liked the tone set throughout the book. While I was reading the first few pages, I know this book was going to make me cry. I felt nostalgic and lonely at the same time. It is as though I was the main character in the story. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs a good cry. I think the writing is beautiful and the book shows promise. I have a feeling that this is going to be a best-seller!

I got a sneak peak this book from NetGalley and it was great. We are introduced to the protagonist Marin, who is a bit strange. She doesn't talk or interact much even staying in her college dormitories over winter break. We see her daily routine and hour she struggles with even small changes her environment and she can become very panicked although we don't know what makes her this way or why yet. Marin's friends Mabel is coming to stay her for a few days despite the fact they haven't spoken in months, and again we don't know why but it seems to both unsettle and comfort Marin at the same time. The two friends briefly discuss what is going in their lives but neither what's to probe the other, although it's clear from the conversation that Marin had changed far more than Mabel was expecting.

We then skip from the winter month back to May, and here we discover more about Marin's life before. It turns out that Marin is an orphan; her father doesn't know she exists and her mother died when she was three, she lived with her grandfather and was very happy with her life, even her religious school until she is struck by tragedy once more and it literally feels like Marin cant catch a break. Mabel it turns out wants to convince Marin to come home with her and live with her and her parents, but Marin doesn't feel like she can but her friend is determined to convince her in the short amount of time they have together.

I began to think towards the end of the sneak peak that Marin and Mabel were more than friends and Mabel telling her of a new boyfriend hurts Marin but I understand Mabel's intentions. I found this book to be really intriguing and I cant wait the book to come out so I can buy it straight away.
