3.5 stars, rounding up. Loved the first 75% which was totally engrossing and fascinating, but found the main character’s one-eighty at the end a little hard to believe.

Worth the read if you want a peek inside the lux, fast-paced, wild world of corporate law!

5 ⭐️, until the last 10%, where it went off on a tangent. Definitely not a thriller, as advertised, but more an exploration into the power people who have more money than sense have.

I am glad I was able to read this book that has been on my TBR forever!

I remember when it was released I saw a mix of reviews and I didn’t want to have it affect my decisions on how I read this.

This was a MeToo movement book with a slight spin. The MC was a first year associate lawyer for a prestigious law firm who never swayed from a challenge. She was smart, fierce and beautiful. Of course, the partners took advantage of her beauty and her willingness to get ahead by basically creating a rivalry between her and her best friends to become one of the few female members of the laws M&A placement.

The story was as realistic as it comes and it’s a disgrace how woman and other minorities are displayed in the corporate field as shining stars to make the quota.

I was able to read and listen together and Julia Whelen was a spectacular narrator like always making this one shine.
