We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Fowler. “A friend recommended I buy this book and read the first three chapters without reading the back of the book first. Definitely worth it!” Barbara Kingsolver said about this book: “A novel so readably juicy and surreptitiously smart, it deserves all the attention it can get . . . [Its] fresh diction and madcap plot bend the tone toward comedy, but it never mislays its solemn raison d’être. Monkeyshines aside, this is a story of Everyfamily in which loss engraves relationships, truth is a soulful stalker and coming-of-age means facing down the mirror, recognizing the shape-shifting notion of self.”
