About the Book

It’s the Magic 8 Ball’s fault. All of it. One teeny little question, and suddenly Simone Alexander is chucking her whole life out the window. So long, being a chef in California–it’s time for law school. In Michigan. Where there’s actual winter. And law school’s nothing like the romantic comedies said it was.

Simone is tragically underprepared. Hell, she’s already behind before classes have even begun, and her hard-as-nails Contracts professor is giving her no mercy. Then there’s Silas Whitman, her tall and annoyingly cute neighbor. Off campus, Silas is incredible. Kissable, even. In class, he is one thousand percent the obnoxious kiss-ass.

But Simone’s given up everything to be a lawyer. The competition is fierce and she has a hateful professor gunning for her to fail, but she’s not about to let little things like sleep, or love, stop her from kicking law school ass…

My Review 

This was a cute, whimsical and lighthearted story. Simone is a 26 year old woman. And she's at a crossroad in her life when she quits her restaurant job when she loses her passion for it. When deciding what to do next, she does what has worked for her in the past and consults her Magic 8 ball, and ends up deciding to go to law school. She gets accepted and moves from California to Michigan and ends up meeting one of her future classmates, Silas. They start off as friends, but eventually start to become something more. Eventually, they have to decide what the next step for both of them is.

At one point in my life, when I was younger, I thought i wanted to be a lawyer. After reading what Simone went through in her classes, I think I made the right decision not to. One of my favorite things about this story was Simone's development and her growth. I especially love it when characters evolve and become a better version of their selves. And I felt bad for Silas at times, but so happy he learned and grew as well. It was a quick and enjoyable read and I really enjoyed it so much.  

I received a copy of the book via Entangled Publishing via Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review of my own thoughts and opinions
