Summary:

One of the most thrilling and terrifying days of your life is that first day of college, when you step onto campus filled with the excitement of all the possibilities ahead-and panic about if you'll make it and how you'll fit in.

Now imagine that same feeling, but you're in the middle of the lawn at the world's most prestigious university. In your underwear.

Thus begins one of the craziest years ever at Harvard, in which Eric Kester finds himself involved in a cheating scheme, trying to join a prestigious Finals Club, and, falling for a stunning type-A brunette...who happened to be standing there in shock that first day when he made his red-faced stroll across the Harvard Yard.
