"I stumble upon this story while looking for Harry Potter fanfiction, but I am surprised to find that I like it. The author seems to have drawn some inspiration from The Good Wife: the female protagonist, Anna, graduated first in her class from Georgetown Law. However, the author doesn’t intend for her to give up her career for her husband. On the contrary, the prelude indicates that she has secured what is perhaps the most coveted job for young lawyers in the United States—a clerkship at the Supreme Court. People might not understand what this job entails: the Supreme Court has only nine justices, each of whom can hire four clerks annually to assist in drafting opinions, conducting legal research, and discussing cases. With over 200 law schools in the U.S., even if each school graduates only 100 students per year (much higher actually), that would mean 20,000 graduates annually. To be selected as a Supreme Court clerk is a remarkable honor, and those chosen always go on to become big law firm partners, law professors, or prominent government officials. I rarely see stories featuring a protagonist with this background, let alone one where two former clerks fall in love (if that’s where the story is headed). What’s even more intriguing is that Anna seems to prioritize her career, which feels like a deliberate subversion of The Good Wife. I think the author’s decision to depict the protagonist’s humble origins, growing up in Brooklyn, is reasonable. I’m curious how much the story will delve into the protagonist’s life. Personally, I appreciate the portrayal of Anna’s interactions with her parents—a controlling mother and a tolerant but principled father. A person’s character doesn’t develop in a vacuum, so I find the descriptions of her grandparents and parents relevant. The plot has already advanced to Anna's pursuing a Master’s degree in art history at the University of London, so I assume the law school phase will follow soon. I’m not a fan of the overdone trope of domineering CEOs paired with fragile heroines—it’s a bit tiresome. For readers who enjoy strong female protagonists like I do, I highly recommend this story."
