Food, Girls, and Other Things I Can't Have by Allen Zadoff
3.0
"Everything fells better when I'm eating."
This is the first book I have read about a guy with body shape issues, usually it is only shown in girls. It is a fast paced and funny book. The characters are realistic and original. Obviously there is a main hero, his best friend, a girl he likes and a bad guy like every other book.
This book follows the same pattern like every book with obesity. The fat guy hates himself for his weight, the society makes fun of him, he tries to change himself, towards the end does something great and then accepts himself for who he is.
But it is also about friendships and relationships, breaking out of your comfort zone and discovering yourself.
The part I did not like was about Football. For me it all looked quite fake and set up from the start. How easily he got in even without any experience in the field. I mean he could barely run.
Doesn't Andrew's sister have an eating disorder? Or only I thought about it?
"Small food,small people. Extremely hard to resist."
