À propos de cet ebook
A “wickedly funny and sublimely moving” debut from the New York Times–bestselling author of This is Your Life, Harriet Chance! (Caroline Leavitt, author of Cruel Beautiful World)
A quirky coming-of-age novel about a gawky vegetarian in an off-the-wall bodybuilding family, who develops an inconvenient obsession with his new stepsister . . .
Weakness has always been a concern for William Miller: growing up vegetarian in a family of competitive bodybuilders will do that to a person. But William’s life is turned upside down with the death of his mother and the arrival of both a new stepmother and stepsister—Lulu. At once they are thick as thieves, but years later, something changes, and William watches his life shift into tumult and despair.
Once Lulu departs for college, Will goes into the world to find himself, discovering Western philosophy, a cruel dating world, enduring friendship, and, ultimately, his true calling. Emboldened by his turn as a late-night radio personality, Will rescues himself from the self-image of weakness he’d long wished to escape. This debut novel explores the fundamental difference between where we come from—and the endless possibilities of where we may go.
A funny, moving, and painfully honest debut, this 10th anniversary edition includes a new author’s introduction and a foreword by New York Times–bestselling author J. Ryan Stadal.
