Description
I was a very large kid. I sort of had to be, that was how my parents showed me love. They used their money to buy me nice toy cars, expensive clothes, and food-lots and lots of food. Sometimes I wish they would have shown their "love" to me by sending me to Fat Camp, but I feel like they felt they were taking care of me when they saw their fifty pound overweight son lug himself around. ••• Elijah Farley has grown up as an only child to two of the biggest self-made internet entrepreneurs with a large company. As such, his parents shower him with gifts to make up for being gone almost every weekend. His only friend is his nanny, Lydia. He is an overweight child with huge self-esteem issues, weighted by the feeling he isn't enough. Charlotte Gooding lives with two very doting parents and a baby sister. Her mother works for Elijah's parents as an assistant. They don't make much in terms of money, but her father always says- rather cheesily- they are rich in love. Charlotte met Elijah at a Christmas party three years ago and can't help but notice how unhappy he looks. When circumstances bring the two together in a rather unusual way, they find a friend at just the right time. March, 2017
