An Insightful MUST
Professor Franzese is inspirational, driving home the core perspectives that the day to day monotony seems to dround out. She reminds us of what is important & where our focus should be. As I read this wonderful treasure of a book, I felt like she could read my mind, my doubts, & frustrations. In every page she helped me to realign myself; focus on the truth instead of our minds naysayer. This has been one of the best books, as I work my way through my 1L experience. It has been uplifting, motivational, giving me a place of reflection & direction. I will continue to read this book over & over pulling out new perspectives & focus point each & every time. Thank you, Professor Franzese!

incredibly repetitive--i could've sworn i read the same paragraph on multiple occasions. seemed more like a self help book than something to prepare me for law school (i'm so serious there is a chapter about breakups) but the author seems like a little ball of sunshine and her dad invented one of my favorite pastas so i can't be too mad
