Fat Kid Rules the World

I guess I read 2 YA books in a row that I'm afraid ~glamorize homelessness.~ Or is it empowering homelessness? Maybe I need to check my home-having privilege :(

Anyway I read this book because John Green recommended it. I thought it was pretty funny and engaging, and a super fast read. It's kind of sparsely-written but Going gives enough details to let you piece together pretty good characterizations of Troy (the titular fat kid) and Curt (the mostly-homeless kid who stops Troy from jumping in front of a train).

Also it is cool that it doesn't end with the Fat Kid losing weight and becoming popular! (spoiler?)
