In the beginning, the main characters had a lot of potential, but by the end of the story, it didn't work out for me. I was disappointed in Bree's character. Why couldn't she leave the program after sleeping with the CEO and become successful at another prestigious firm (the ethical way); then a few years later, run into Robert in court..blah blah blah...then get the happily ever after?I immediately loved the idea of her - she was from a struggling family and a small town in the South...pushed her way through college and law school and was accepted to a limited and rigorous program which would set her career for life if chosen. But although Bree was ambitious and a good girl, her actions (after developing a sexual relationship with the boss) appeared scheming to me.I initially liked her, up until she tried to use her relationship with the boss to advance her position in the program. I mean, she went from sweet and fair-playing to having manipulative tendencies in mere pages. Another problem I had is that although she had the skills, brains, and determination to do the job, this was not what it boiled down to. It boiled down to sex. And how can she get upset about how colleagues and employees perceived her, when in fact, she DID do what they whispered/rumored about.And Robert? Well, he was a walking contradicition, in my opinion.
