WOW! what an amazing series of short stories culminating with its best. i can’t remember the last time i read a short story and this was such a great way to dive back in. evans is such a talent.

It was good. But I hate short stories because they bring you in and you want more and then it's over. Which is the point but I don't like it lol. But if you liked short stories then this was very good cause it was always very interesting and emotional

Holy smokes, I had no idea one could do so much with a short story.

Each one was like taking a roller coaster blindfolded — no idea where she’s gonna take you next, but having a fantastic time.

And the Office of Historical Corrections one, wow, so much to unpack there. Glad this was chosen by book club because it’s one of those books I want to talk about to whoever will listen.
