Ever since cancer invaded his adoptive mother's life, Brett feels like he's losing everything, most of all control. To cope, Brett fuels his anxieties into his intergalactic Kid Condor comic book series by day and his epic drunk drive-thru'ing adventures by night. When he eats, Brett can forget about the galaxy-sized hole in his chest. And the recent expansion of his waistline. And the fact that girls don't look at him the way they look at dudes like his best bro and sidekick, Reed, who is basically shredded and more of a man than Brett thinks he'll ever be... But when someone posts Brett's deepest insecurities online for the whole school to see, he realizes he can no longer avoid the painful truths of his real-life narrative. As his eating disorder escalates -- and Brett is sought out by Mallory, a fat girl whose confidence confuses yet fascinates him-- Brett must decide between facing the toughest reality of them all or letting his fictions consume him.
