A complimentary copy of this book was sent to me to review on my kindle.This is the first book in the series. Jake an ex Harvard graduate who is working as a waiter, when he is approached by an old friend Jarvis from Harvard. Jarvis asks him to tutor a korean teenage girl called April Kim to help her go to Harvard. Kim is a bright child but uptight, she hardly ever sees her parents especially her father who travels a lot to Asia. She has a sister who is estranged from the family. So far April has had seven tutors who could not stay the course. So Jake settles in for the long haul, wondering why does Jarvis keep giving the family gifts from Asia, then one day he finds out. A good twist at the end. This book is quite comical in parts as well as some sadness in there. I like the character Jake who is a bit quirky as well as gullible. I think the author has written a good book as a first off in this series.
