I really enjoyed reading this book, it's one of my favorite retellings. The characters were great and it kept the spirit of the original story.

This was a captivating legal novel that I found hard to put down. I essentially raced through but savored the twists and turns. Stunning!
Many thanks to Barlow Books and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is better than the description, and packs a good punch with compelling characters and dramatics, plus some mystery. This a pretty dynamic and unusual story telling. Recommended!

I really appreciate the copy for review!!

I believe the author's experience in Law inspired some of the details he put into this book and that is one thing that stood out for me, the details- how each character is complex yet he presents them as simply chasing success. Odell is a mystery even unto himself and I don't think even he understood just how powerful he was. On the other hand, I love how the female characters are portrayed- soft but powerful, and the subtle power is often overlooked by the men, like the case of Emily and Jackson, their date and her be-friending Dee to give him the upper hand in winning Odell's trust is something sneaky but downright powerful.
I struggled with the pace halfway through the book and believe that this is because of my e-reader, however towards the end, it picks up real fast and you suddenly find yourself at the end of the story.
Thank you Netgalley for the eARC.

I thought this was very good! It took me a little while to get into it but after that, it was a very pleasant read. The characters are relatable and the story memorable.
