First Things First
Andy Burke is only 18-years old and already head of his own company—if you can call a fancy drink stand at school a company. He has just one semester to see business boom, or he won’t touch a cent of his father’s millions.
Unfortunately for Andy, most everyone else wants to see him fail—everyone except a certain anonymous ‘angel’ who always seems to know just the right piece of advice to keep Andy’s dreams alive. Even with help—Andy doesn’t know if he had can win against an opponent who doesn’t play by the rules. Slander, theft and vandalism are all on the table for the other side, while Andy has to play fair, or risk losing everything.
As he struggles on, however, Andy realizes that perhaps his father’s challenge might by directing him to a different kind of inheritance altogether, one that is worth much more than any number of millions.

Latter-Day Saint Coming-of-Age Realistic Fiction
Parents- PG- middle school and up - Trigger potential with losing loved ones
Language- None
Violence- PG- normal to genre nothing too graphic
Sexual Content- none
The story of an 18-year-old senior in high school trying to show his dad that he was ready for part of his inheritance to help pay for school and the start out in life. I loved seeing him learn, grow, and also try to navigate everything from friendship to family to romance. There are plenty of ups and downs to keep it both realistic and engaging. It's definitely geared to the Latter-Day Saint reader, while not overly preachy the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints do have a large role in the story.
Narrator- He did okay with the differentiations and was easy to listen to, but also a bit slow. I had a better time listening at 1.5x speed, normal speed is probably around 1.25x speed.
