A review by candacesiegle_greedyreader
We Are Not Ourselves by Matthew Thomas

2.0

Sad, sad, sad. No one gets a break in this novel, no one gets more than a brief glimmer of happiness. It’s a total downer from start to finish, but finish it you will. The pages fly by, perhaps because that as humans we are ever hopeful and Matthew Thomas is a good writer. But We Are Not Ourselves is hard going and left me feeling crappy. Is the novel worth the hype? Maybe if you are in the right place, but I can’t imagine where that would be.
