It was pretty boring. The story focused on the four main characters, but they felt like they weren’t in story. I was really confused about Sara’s POV until like half way through. If the story focused on four characters, why am I getting a pov about someone
who eventually died? It would’ve been more effective if there were clues sprinkled in about Sara and the conditions of her work life, than a pov about her.
 

It was pretty predictable and cheesy, and I knew I wouldn’t give the book a good rating because of the writing, but I read through because I thought something would give. It did not.
