From the author of Finding Jupiter comes a powerful new novel about love, self-esteem, and mental health. Reeling from unresolved family trauma and a viral heartbreak, a Black teen is thrust onto an unexpected journey of self-discovery, healing, and first love.

"Rowe embraces the interiority of girls’ lives with radical respect." —Cynthia Leitich Smith, winnerof the Michael L. Printz Award


Skye is an expert at pretending she’s okay.

That’s how she’s surviving after her uncle’s attempted suicide. Skye keeps putting on a fake smile—for her parents, her therapist, her friends, and her seemingly perfect boyfriend, Malik. If she’s crowned Southern Belle at prom, maybe she can leave the past behind her.

But when a viral video at the dance exposes Malik’s betrayal, Skye’s carefully curated life unravels.

Besides the writings of Sylvia Plath, her one unexpected constant is Ace— a quiet new boy with his own past.

As Skye and Ace work on The Bell Jar project, their connection deepens. Is Skye ready to move on?

Okay Girl is a powerful and moving novel that sensitively explores one Black teen’s journey toward love and healing after trauma. An afterword with mental health resources by adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Nakia Scott has been included.

批評家のレビュー

"A tender-hearted, honest portrayal of finding love and light intimes of grief and confusion, Okay Girl is not to be missed." —Jason June, New York Times bestselling author of Out of the Blue

"Singular, stirring, and deeply healing and empathetic, Okay Girl is a coming-of-age story for those who have said they were ‘okay’ when they really weren’t. Kelis Rowe effortlessly embodies Skye’s voice with charm, style, and raw and complex emotion, never ignoring the harder truths. This book is beautiful, hopeful, and strikingly real." —Nova Ren Suma, New York Times bestselling author of The Walls Around Us and Wake the Wild Creatures

"Beautifully written book about the inevitable downfall of pretending to be okay. In her sophomore novel, Rowe tackles grief, heartbreak, and the sensitivity of mental illness with grace and relatability." —Joya Goffney, author of Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry

"Kelis Rowe has crafted a striking story for young Black girls to see themselves, even during life’s darkest moments. Okay Girl is a marvelous contribution to the conversation surrounding adolescent mental health, a topic that explores experiences too often left unspoken." —Kristen R. Lee, author of Required Reading for the Disenfranchised Freshman

"Deeply insightful and marvelously impactful…Through Rowe’s empathetic eye, readers will see themselves reflected in this compassionate novel." —Brianna Peppins, author of the Briarcliff Prep Series
