I received an e-ARC from @stmartinspress on @netgalley I'm exchange for my honest review and here goes nothing:

I have a hard time reviewing this book because I didn't like it, but I was entertained. 

The Intern is a legal thriller centered around Harvard Law student Madison Rivera and her professor/role model Judge Kathryn Conroy. This book is split between POVs for both women. The characters and the plot feel cheesy, juvenile, and like stock characters. The only ones with real backstory and development are the villains and Kathy.  

I almost DNF'd this book because it was quite fast paced and felt immediately predictable. There were more layers than I had intially thought once we got into Kathy's point of view so I become more forgiving and more interested. 

I'm glad I finished it, this book wraps up nicely. It just didn't feel very original. I would recommend this to someone for a read on a short flight just to get your thriller fix in.
