Recent Review:
We Are Not Ourselves by Matthew Thomas (received through NetGalley)
5 stars
I have wanted to read this book for a while and finally sat down to it over the holiday break. The story follows one woman, Eileen, and her family during the course of her entire life. It deals with parents, marriage, career, illness, parenting and every important issue one manages within the course of a lifetime. The characters and their actions are so real that I absolutely believed in them and the decisions that they made. As a fan of escapism in literature, I did find this stressful at times because the writing was entirely authentic and it was hard to separate the experiences of these characters from possibilities in my own life. I recommend this book whole heartedly. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
