For me, The Intern started slowly, and I didn't care much for the young female MC, Madison. She was presented as a young Harvard Law student eager to get a coveted spot as an intern - however, the way she was written, she acted more like a high school student. Her thoughts, decision-making, and dialogue didn't represent someone attending one of the best law schools in the country. I often struggle when female authors decide to present their female MCs in this manner. I know it is a part of character growth, but it always leads me to rate the book lower.
Once I got to part two of the book, I started to enjoy it more from Judge Katherine Country's perspective. Her character and character's backstory were exciting and added an entirely new layer to the book. Again, some of the ways she acted were not indicative of a federal judge, but I still enjoyed her perspective throughout the story.
โ๐ผ Five parts
๐ฃ๏ธ Dual POV
๐ฉ๐ฝโโ๏ธ Justice system setting
๐ค Complex characters
Overall, this was an interesting story, and while I knew where the story was going and, ultimately, how it would end, I still enjoyed the path that led there. I recommend reading The Intern if you want a quick read set in the legal system.
