Noah rose from humble beginnings and, through pure grit and
resourcefulness, got himself through Princeton. Now staggering
under the weight of massive student loans and dazzled by life in
the big city, Noah enters the rarefied field of SAT tutoring in
Manhattan, working one-on-one with the spoiled, gorgeous children
of the American aristocracy.
He takes on the considerable academic challenges that are Dylan
Thayer, a dissipated high school athlete-socialite, and his waifish
sister, Tuscany. Dylan won't lift a finger to do anything but pick
up a lacrosse stick, and Tuscany is avidly pursuing her own
downfall via drugs and relationships with men more than twice her
age. But their mother, a self-medicating pediatrician, has
ambitious plans for them in spite of their shortcomings -- and she
has plans for their SAT tutor as well.
With echoes of "The Devil Wears Prada, The Nanny Diaries, " and
"Bright Lights, Big City, Glamorous Disasters" is an incisive
portrayal of a small and privileged world, a cautionary tale
written by a Harvard grad who was once an SAT tutor himself -- an
outsider who became a magnificently observant insider.
