Critics Review
“A must-read for anyone contemplating law school; and for those who have already graduated, a sidesplitting review of the law school experience – torts and all.” – Karen Quinn, author of The Ivy Chronicles and Wife in the Fast Lane“Martha Kimes’s candid tale of attending Columbia Law School is Legally Blonde meets One L. Told with sweet self-awareness and pervasive wit, I couldn’t help but cheer Kimes on as she faced every daunting law school challenge, transforming herself from fearful Midwesterner to cool and confident Ivy League grad. Ivy Briefs makes me want to hug Kimes…and then hire her as my attorney.” – Jen Lancaster, author of Bitter Is the New Black and Bright Lights, Big Ass“With pitch-perfect dialogue and witty observations, Martha Kimes delivers a funny and charming look at the trials and tribulations of law school. I give Ivy Briefs an A.” – Alison Pace, author of Pug Hill and Through Thick and Thin“Martha Kimes has written a One L for the next generation. Ivy Briefs is a great addition to the reading list for anyone even thinking about law school.” – Jeremy Blachman, author of Anonymous Lawyer“The self-deprecating wit, catty observations and healthy sense of the absurd with which Kimes describes her approach-avoidance reactions to the world of law schol raise the bok above the ordinary .” – Publisher’s Weekly
