The contractors by Lisa Ko

The story begins with a mistaken identity coincidence, then email exchanges  between two women of the same name, located in different countries, but working for the same employer. They are both contract employees.  Sandra lives in the US, while Sandie lives in the Philippines. Being the contractors, both of their lives are miserable, but when they compare with each other, they find the differences. While they like to know about each other, the spark of friendship ignites, and so do envy’s. Will they speak up for the injustice or forever be stuck in the job? 

Mainly, the story revolves around the unfair treatment of contractors and how employers exploit them. Inadequate breaks, holidays, support, and benefits with extremely impractical targets. The book attempts to highlight some really valid highpoints while making it interesting with the different value systems of both the characters.

It was an average read overall, but I cannot miss to praise the plot of the story. Short read, so you can give it a try.
