First Street by Randy Susan Meyers, Shawn Klomparens, Jasmine Guillory, Kermit Roosevelt III, Catherine McKenzie, Elyssa Friedland

3.0

I love behind the scenes looks of any industry or community — it’s why I like shows like the West Wing Grey’s Anatomy and the Newsroom along with books like Daisy Jones & The Six and the movie Almost Famous. So the premise of First Street immediately intrigued me and it definitely delivered in terms of the minutiae and drama that could possibly occur behind the scenes of the Supreme Court. And while the ending did seem to tie up a few loose ends there were still several that I had expected the book to address — such as the identity of the leaker — that went unanswered. I understand the authors might have left that open for the possibility of a sequel and that the tv show based on this book might have gone a bit further so I might have to watch it for any sense of closure which, if that pans out, would be excellent market manipulation on Serial Box’s part.
