We Are Okay by Nina LaCour

Marin stays alone in her college dorm over winter break because she doesn't want to go home to San Francisco and be reminded of the losses that she carries. Her friend, Mabel, flies out to check on her. Over the the course of several days, what happened back at home is slowly revealed.

Short and clever with emotional punch. Family, loss, and who becomes family to us when we don't have any.
