Lawyer Kat works in the prosecutor’s office and is on the case of a landlord trying to force out rent-controlled tenants. She discovers the landlord has a silent partner in Mia, who sat her bar exam with Kat and is now a star with a leading law firm.
When someone else scores the promotion Kat was vying for, she’s tempted into joining Mia’s firm, where she can still do pro bono work. But Mia is the boss from hell, demanding, erratic, and often never around.
This is like a Devil Wears Prada on speed. The story is told at a crazy pace and it feels like the author knows the story so well in her head that she sometimes leaves her reader behind. But somehow, I still wanted to hang in there to see Mia get her comeuppance.
