Finally finished this book. I liked it; it is many self-reflective narrative through the eyes of our main character who is attempting to find work that is not as soul sucking and emotionally taxing as her last one. However, through each new temp job she is assigned, she can't help but find herself meeting these challenges and fixing the problems that each position presents her.
