review 1: Tekla’s law school career is going great. Only one problem: Tekla has no more money to pay for school. She needs a part-time job. Luckily, her roommate has just the solution. Earn $150 an hour by tutoring two wealthy teen twins. Within days, Tekla’s job begins to unravel. In a world of super-wealth and high fashion, Tekla finds herself surrounded by a peculiar cast of players: two teens whose self-destructive behavior becomes ever more erratic, a father whose ambitions for his son constantly test Tekla’s notions of what is fair and ethical and what is cheating, a mother whose emotional negligence borders on abuse. As Tekla struggles to hold onto a job that takes more time and energy than she ever anticipated, her own school life begins to suffer. Soon Tekla comes to ... morerealize that without her high-paying part-time job, she can’t afford law school; but with it, she’ll surely flunk out of school.
review 2: Who knew that law could be so interesting? It is a well written story of a smart, middle income young lady who has to fight her way not just thru law school but from her own preconceived ideas about people and parenting, and yes-- even her professors. It is something I think all of us struggle with, but with in her case more awareness of the choices she is making, both good and bad and how she comes to terms with those choices decides who she really is. less

Pretty good. Slow at parts, and at time I wished the main character would stand up for herself!
