Publisher's Summary

Mackenzie Corbett always dreamed of living in New York City. Now, almost two years into her job as an associate at a premier Manhattan law firm, she's living her fantasy - big salary, high-profile deals, cute boyfriend, designer bag on her arm. The giant bags under her eyes from lack of sleep don't fit into the fantasy, though. To make matters worse, she's being tormented by a bitter, bitchy senior associate, her boyfriend is annoyed that she never has time for him, and now she's stuck on the deal from hell with a partner whose biggest claim to fame is throwing a stapler at a cleaning lady because she touched his ficus plant.

With the opportunity to secure a prestigious secondment on the line, the overachiever in her is determined to endure whatever it takes to close the biggest deal in the firm's history. But when Mackenzie finds herself the focus of a devastating investigation, her dream job begins spiraling into a nightmare. In this pitch-perfect, frighteningly accurate novel, Lindsay Cameron throws back the curtain to this intriguing world, exposing the truth about life in Biglaw.

Fun read, especially for lawyers or others fascinated with Big Law

I really enjoyed this book, as a lawyer who has worked at law firms but never one quite this big. It captures many relatable aspects of associate life. And I felt engaged by the plot. I “read” in about 3 days.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the performance. Any time the actress imitated a partner yelling it reminded me of the episode of Veronica Mars where she imitates the voice of the superintendent about fire drills. If you’re not a Veronica Mars super-fan, this probably won’t bother you. I also thought some of the accents she did were unnecessarily stereotypical and insensitive.

Awful main character

And she was pretty much the only character. Basically the book is hours and hours of her taking verbal abuse and not having the strength to stand up for herself, and like one hour of being a character you can respect. I barely made myself finish it.
