After watching the show, featuring Arden Cho, I decided to pick up the book. It's out of my normal genre so it was a bit slower for me to get through but picturing Arden made it even better.

I jumped to read this book after watching the whole season of "The Partner Track" on Netflix in just a few days.
Full review to come.
3.5 Stars, rounded up to 4 Stars.

I really enjoyed the character coming into her own and disowning the law firm structure that values her work but not her individual/cultural identity. A very satisfying read with good character development.

The audiobook was excellent. This novel felt on point re the big law experience. Also, I haven’t seen the Netflix series based on the book but the two look different based on the Netflix trailer.

This was VERY different to the Netflix show! Enjoyed the critique of the racism and sexism within the legal profession and Ingrid having her happier ending.

Ingrid is on the partner track (omg, that’s the title of the book!) at her law firm. The only female, only Asian, one of only 2 POCs. Her hard work at the firm for nearly 9 years, passing on normal sleep schedules & a social life have all been worth it as long as she gets that Partner title in a few months. She continues to deal with sexism, racism, and office politics that come with being a non-white woman in a white man’s world. Sprinkle in a healthy dose of office romance, tight deadlines, and incompetent team members and we’ve got the whole story.
It was cool to see the inner workings of a law office, the similarities I’ve experienced as a young woman in corporate life and the urge/pressure to be “one of the guys” to succeed in your career is very relatable. This was an easy read that kept me turning the page, it paced very well. That being said, it was relatively unsurprising & predictable and the ending was a bit too “she lived happily ever after” to feel realistic.
