Better Off Here

If dystopian stories are your jam, don’t miss out on Better Off Here - - a short collection of dystopian stories that showcase the various aspects of humanity under trying circumstances. Author Melissa R. Mendelson adds a lot of heart and emotional weight to the narrative, with stories full of heartbreak, tragedy, and bittersweet endings that are bound to leave a mark on you. Within a few pages, she somehow crafts well-developed characters whose plights you can sympathize with. You connect with every single one of her characters despite the short length of the stories. Overall, I found the book riveting to read and one that I will highly recommend.
