Lennon Gallagher is a third year law student with a lot going on. She’s got a long distance boyfriend, she’s offered a free copy of a law final and then is told that if she doesn’t keep silent she will take the fall, her mom is just out of prison, she’s studying for finals, and the bar is coming up. With the help of her friend Miranda Quinn, Lennon has to navigate a scandal, work, studying, relationships, and figuring out what it is she wants for herself.
I’m going to start off by saying that I enjoyed this book – it was good. It’s a quick read and it’s entertaining. Lennon is a likeable character and you cheer her on. You want to make sure that things work out for her the way that you want them to. It’s nice that Miranda Quinn makes an appearance in this book as a friend and almost as a mentor.
I was really confused as to the genre of the book. Is this just general fiction? Is it a legal thriller? Is it romance? Is it a mixture? If it’s general fiction – then I think it’s a perfect way to describe it. It teeters into some romance, but not enough – I would have loved to have more of that. It’s not a legal thriller by any means – I wasn’t left on the edge of my seat at any part of the book. I was curious though. One website doesn’t have any genre assigned, another has it under friendship. So I think the internet may be confused too! But when you have a tag line “What You Do Know CAN Hurt You” I sort of expected more thriller-ish vibes, and that’s not what this is.
This book will be out later this year. It is an enjoyable read, so if general fiction is your thing – with a very pleasant splash of romance, check this one out!
