Reviews for The State of Me

- kanikoskiRating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent read. For me, even though the main theme is one character's illness, this is a novel with much more to say about life. In observing the details of day-to-day existence, the wit is sharp and the insight acute. The narrative hops deftly between styles and keeps its pace and focus right to the end. In particular, the passages on loneliness and loss are movingly portrayed.
