review:
'What If We Were Somewhere Else' by Wendy J. Fox is a book of linked short stories exploring our deep need to want more with our lives if we could only figure out what.

This book follows the lives of a handful of people who work together in an office as they struggle with layoffs, divorces, personal dissatisfaction and other issues. Each character feels individual and unique and the level of detail is almost uncomfortably intimate with the level of frankness. The loneliness and isolation are stark and yet, we face many of the same struggles. We work with people and form bonds, but do we really know them?

There are some interesting surprises along the way as characters show up intertwined in other stories and viewpoints shift. There is even a jump to the not too distant future. The author's writing style here is in top form and the prose kept me turning pages to read more.

I received a review ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you very much for allowing me to review this book.
