About this listen
A modern ghost story about trauma and survival, Watch Over Me is the much-anticipated new novel from the Printz Award-winning author of We Are Okay
“Gripping; an emotion-packed must-read.” (Kirkus, starred review)
“A painfully compelling gem from a masterful creator.” (Booklist, starred review)
“Moving, unsettling, and full of atmospheric beauty.” (SLJ, starred review)
Mila is used to being alone.
Maybe that’s why she said yes. Yes to a second chance in this remote place, among the flowers and the fog and the crash of waves far below.
But she hadn’t known about the ghosts.
Newly graduated from high school, Mila has aged out of the foster care system. So when she’s offered a teaching job and a place to live on an isolated part of the Northern California coast, she immediately accepts. Maybe she will finally find a new home — a real home. The farm is a refuge, but it’s also haunted by the past. And Mila’s own memories are starting to rise to the surface.
Nina LaCour, the Printz Award - winning author of We Are Okay, delivers another emotional knockout with Watch Over Me about trauma and survival, chosen family and rebirth.

Now, months later, alone in an emptied dorm for winter break, Marin waits. Mabel is coming to visit, and Marin will be forced to face everything that's been left unsaid and finally confront the loneliness that has made a home in her heart.

Jeanne Ann is smart, stubborn, living in an orange van, and determined to find a permanent address before the start of seventh grade. Cal is awkward, sensitive, living in a humongous house across the street, and determined to save her. Jeanne Ann is roughly as enthusiastic about his help as she is about living in a van. As the two form a tentative friendship that grows deeper over alternating chapters, they're buoyed by a cast of complex, oddball characters who let them down, lift them up, and leave you cheering.

Jeanne Ann is smart, stubborn, living in an orange van, and determined to find a permanent address before the start of seventh grade. Cal is awkward, sensitive, living in a humongous house across the street, and determined to save her. Jeanne Ann is roughly as enthusiastic about his help as she is about living in a van. As the two form a tentative friendship that grows deeper over alternating chapters, they're buoyed by a cast of complex, oddball characters who let them down, lift them up, and leave you cheering.

Born with a gift for music, Nannerl Mozart has just one wish - to be remembered forever. But even as she delights audiences with her masterful playing, she has little hope she'll ever become the acclaimed composer she longs to be. She is a young woman in 18th century Europe, and that means composing is forbidden to her. She will perform only until she reaches a marriageable age - her tyrannical father has made that much clear. And as Nannerl's hope grows dimmer with each passing year, the talents of her beloved younger brother, Wolfgang, only seem to shine brighter.

The Way Loneliness Feels
I really find this book beautiful. I think the language is beautiful, I think the imagery is beautiful, I think the story is beautiful, I think the message is beautiful - all of it.
I also think it's very heartbreaking and vulnerable. Someone described LaCour's writing as loneliness put into words, and I have to agree. Maybe expanding on it, it's specifically adolescent loneliness. That sort of deep ache that comes with shifting life dynamics.
Highly recommend this book, but it deals with heavy topics at times, so tread lightly.

Narration elevates the story
After graduating from high school, foster child Mila goes to work on a farm as an intern, complete with creepy people and ghosts. Mila narrates the story, mostly in the present with flashes back to the time when she thinks she did a Terrible Thing. I say thinks, because readers will need to judge for themselves.
I’m a big Nina LaCour fan, but WATCH OVER ME left me feeling flat and disconnected. Though I love her almost poetic word-building and liked Mila as a character, I didn’t enjoy the story. None of the characters were fully fleshed out, not even Mila. The plot and wrap up did nothing for me. I was left feeling, “that’s it?”
Lots of other readers seem to enjoy the book, so you may like it more than me.
