Description
Sometimes life throws us a curveball. Sometimes life throws us a lifeline. Sometimes it throws us both. Sometimes we don’t know the meaning of what life throws at us until well after it throws stuff at us. This is a book about self-doubt, friendship, anxiety, and a worldwide pandemic, all through the everyday eyes of an office worker.
This is the story of Maxwell Orwellian, an ordinary forty-one-year-old office worker. In no way a special person. Recently divorced, currently in therapy, and with a daughter on a gap year somewhere abroad. Maxwell is at a bit of a crossroads.
But he still has a living to earn. In the office. As an office worker. The morning commute, avoiding Jim from accounts, trying to get into shape at lunchtime and getting into deep conversations with his mate Noah from the coffee house before the daily grind.
And then the shit really hits the fan. The world is turned upside down. A pandemic. A worldwide virus. Social distancing. Lockdowns. And a man called Boris with really unkempt hair leading us through it all.
Sometimes in life, just sometimes, redemption can be found in the unlikeliest of places. When you think you’re done, you’ve just begun...

I enjoyed this more than I expected to, the author made this book an easy read and amusing at times. It was interesting seeing into other people’s pandemic lives too. Recommend if you’re looking for a quick lightish read.

Life as an office worker, the mundane day to day chores, the challenges of life and the hell of going through a pandemic.
Being an office worker myself some of this i could fully relate to.
Life has a funny way of pushing you along giving you many different things to deal with. Maxwell Orwellian shares with the reader what life has been like. fun and light hearted. An easy read.

Maxwell Orwellian. 41, office worker. Life's a bit rubbish.
And then lockdown hits. And things get...different
Lens and L, Reviewer
Solid book about one character through several life challenges and a pandemic on top of it. Well written but dry in a few spots.

My thanks to NetGalley and Matador Publishing for a copy of “ Confessions Of An Office Worker “ for an honest review.
A humorous, light read ,especially of interest if you’re an office worker, and had to deal with the impact that COVID had on us all.

I was lucky to receive an advance copy of Confessions of an Office Worker by Kieron JR Crowther from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. Who doesn't remember being an office worker as we all went into "lockdown" during COVID. I found myself enjoying this more than I expected too. This was a fun easy read that will take you back three years ago to the craziness of the world.
