On his graduation day from Renfield High, Nick Park is determined to figure out if his heritage is the cause of his abysmal luck with girls.

Beginning the novel as an unreliable and unknowingly comic narrator, Nick Park struggles to fit into Renfield--an alarmingly homogeneous Connecticut suburb as he grapples with his own ambivalence towards his ethnicity and his neurotic love for girls. GIRLS FOR BREAKFAST is a uniquely funny, unforgettable meditation on love and race, family and friendship,acceptance and isolation.

Nick Park is an ironic, sharp-edged commentator on the world of masculine angst, relationships and sex, and his commentary brings to the mix an intelligent, candid and irreverent inquiry into what it means to be an "ethnic" teenage boy in the white suburbs of late twentieth century America.

From killing a hamster in 3rd grade in front of his entire class, to contracting illicit photos of his 8th grade crush, to repeatedly lying about being a 4th degree black belt, Nick Park is a character that you will remember long after you close this book.
