Food, Girls, and Other Things I Can't Have by Allen Zadoff

3.0

A highly overweight, geeky high school sophomore falls for a new girl at his school. To impress her, he joins the football team. I won't spoil things for you, though I did find the story predictable. It was a quick, easy read. I suppose it's a good thing to have more main characters with physical attributes that fall far outside of average. Yet I didn't like Andrew's repeated lying to nearly everyone. In the end, character growth does occur, but by that time it was too late for me to care.
