The stakes are high for Lennon Gallagher, a third-year law student who finds herself entangled in an ethical dilemma that threatens everything she’s worked for. A misdirected text offers a stolen exam, and when Lennon refuses to play along, the threat turns personal. Throw in a high-pressure internship, a faltering relationship, a buried family secret, and the need to support her recently incarcerated mother, and you have a tense, emotionally charged journey.
Lennon is a compelling and relatable character. She’s intelligent, driven, and stretched to her limit, making her an ideal protagonist to lead Olmsted’s newest legal thriller, an apparent offshoot from the highly recommended Miranda series. Miranda Quinn even plays a secondary role in the novel. The author deftly weaves in sub-plots that intensify the emotional depth of the story and creates a multi-layered novel that gripped me from the beginning. With crisp dialogue and an engaging writing style, Class Action integrates themes of resilience, integrity, and self-discovery, all through the eyes of a young, witty, and authentic character, one I hope to see in future novels from this author. This is a standout legal drama that will resonate with readers who crave both tension and heart.
Sublime Line: “Gripping and engaging, Class Action explores what it means to choose the harder right over the easier wrong.”
