Nina LaCour Synopses: We Are Okay is a standalone novel by Nina LaCour. Marin hasn’t spoken to anyone from her former life since the day she walked away from it all. No one knows what happened during those final weeks – not even her closest friend, Mabel. But even thousands of miles from the California coast, attending college in New York, Marin can’t escape the memories and tragedy she left behind.

Now, with winter break leaving the campus nearly deserted, Marin finds herself alone in her dorm, waiting for Mabel to arrive. Her friend’s visit will force Marin to confront the secrets she has kept buried, the painful past she has tried to outrun, and the deep loneliness that has followed her into her new life.

Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour is a standalone title. Mila is accustomed to being alone, so when she is offered a second chance in a secluded corner of the Northern California coast, she accepts without hesitation. Newly graduated from high school and aged out of the foster care system, Mila takes a teaching job that also comes with a place to live. Surrounded by flowers, fog, and crashing waves, she hopes the isolated farm might finally give her the home she has always wanted.

But Mila soon discovers that the farm is haunted by more than its remote surroundings. Ghosts linger among the property, and as she settles into her new life, memories from her own troubled past begin to resurface. What first seemed like a refuge may force Mila to confront everything she has tried to leave behind.

But as their relationship develops, Sara’s past returns to disrupt the life she has built, just as Emilie is beginning to discover a sense of purpose of her own.
