A review by sleepey
The Office of Historical Corrections by Danielle Evans
4.0
The main novella-length story is excellent, easily worth the read on its own. The short stories are more of a mixed bag, though i wouldn't say any of them are actively bad.
The author has a habit of barely introducing a character before going on a deep dive through their family tree & relationships, & I found that quite a struggle to absorb at times. The overall tone is rather bleak, many of the characters just seem numb & worn down by everything. It's good, but it's a lot.
My copy has a recommendation from the Daily Mail on the front, which is very funny to me.
