Things are tough for 15 year old Andrew Zansky. As if trying to make 300 lbs look slim all day everyday while at the bottom of the high school hierarchy wasn't taxing enough, now the captivating April appears in his class. They only briefly met once before, but he is sure it is love. He only has to change everything about himself to make his father proud, be the school hero, and get the girl. Things fast track for Andy’s social status but what he finds is not as fulfilling as he had imagined. “Staying in the moment. Maybe it’s the hard part about life. Things get tough and you want to be somewhere else (277).”
