The Devil Wears Prada meets One L, BIGLAW provides an insider's view of the cut-throat world of big New York law firms.
Mackenzie Corbett has always dreamed of living in New York City. Now, almost two years into her job as an associate at a premier Manhattan law firm, she's living her fantasy--big salary, high profile deals, cute boyfriend, designer bag on her arm. The giant bags under her eyes from lack of sleep don't fit into the fantasy, though. To make matters worse, she's being tormented by a bitter, bitchy senior associate, her boyfriend is annoyed she never has time for him, and now she's stuck on the deal from hell with a partner whose biggest claim to fame is throwing a stapler at a cleaning lady because she touched his ficus plant.

About the Author
Lindsay Cameron was born in San Jose, California, and raised in the eastern United States and Canada. She worked for six years as a corporate attorney at large law firms on both sides of the border, including one of New York's most profitable firms, her time at which she describes only half-humorously as like being “in prison.” She currently resides in New York City with her husband and two children.
