I think this could have been 100 pages shorter (a lot of drinking/partying/self destructive scenes, for example, could have been taken out - that got pretty repetitive). Overall, though, it was entertaining and voyeuristically interesting to be put in the world of a first year associate in a big New York City law firm. It took a while to get to the point, but the payoff was worth it. It definitely conveyed that sexism in law firms and among the ultra rich is a real thing, though hopefully with stories like these it'll change.

Trigger warnings abound. Please look that over before you choose this book. It was one of those that I read in sections because it was really intense and hard to read for long periods of time. It was about a BigLaw (read most prestigious with the most revenue) Law Firm that abuses its first year associates. I'm guessing since the author is a lawyer that most of it is true which is depressing and frustrating and shows just how far our society has NOT come.

Spoiler alert:
does not have a happy ending.

I LOVED this book, finished it in one day. I found the world of BigLaw fascinating, liked the characters, and was interested in the plot.

LOVED this book. Erica Katz is an incredible author and really painted the picture well of what it’s like to be a women in Big Law, fighting to get to the top.
The mix of deposition and storytelling made it hard to put this book down because I wanted so badly to know what was coming next!
