My favorite part of it was how I was
I love tense thrillers and the multi-perspective narration for the audiobook was well done, so if you truly have nothing else to read at the moment and you want to pick this one up, I don't think it would hurt. But if your reading time is limited I think there are much better ways to spend it. Unless you work on Wall Street and want to picture your career nemeses in the place of the elevator characters, I guess? Then this will probably be the best book you've ever read in your life.
I listened to this so it's not really easy to go back and double check, but it felt like there were multiple errors in how it was written that really should have been caught in the editing process. However, I liked the audio narrators and thought they did a good job with what they were working with.
P.S. Also, what the heck was up with
P.P.S. 36-ish hours in the elevator and not once did someone have to pee?

it was a good, pretty quick read and it captured my attention pretty much from the beginning. I really like the switching povs a lot. the title and summary are deceiving though. it's made out to be an escaperoom type of story but it's more about the world of investment banking and the lives of a few of those people. the end suprised me the most and overall I liked the book.

Sara enters the company, but never makes it to the inner sanctum. The heads of the company are ruthless and care about making the deals at any cost.
The other perspective is the leaders of the company in an escape room. They’re stuck in an elevator and forced to escape to survive. It starts as a hardcore escape room, but quickly devolves as secrets are spilled.
The rotating perspectives keep things fast-moving. There is never a really dull part. Fun, quick read.
