About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is nursing a bruised ego after a breakup or feeling the crushing weight of social embarrassment. This sharp, satirical novel follows Anthony, a self-described loser who takes a job at a fast food joint to seek revenge on the jock who stole his girlfriend. It is a raw and funny look at the messy intersection of jealousy, anger, and the desire to reinvent oneself after being treated like a doormat. While the humor is biting and the corporate rivalry is absurd, the emotional core deals with the very real pain of teenage rejection. It is best suited for older teens who appreciate dry wit and can handle some cynical, realistic perspectives on high school social hierarchies and the service industry.
