"I am one of the world’s lonely."
Heft is about the pain of loneliness, the traumas of addiction, and the delicate ties that bind.
This is a beautiful and well-written story about an obese man, Arthur Opp, and a teenage boy, Kel Keller, who are dealing with loss. Arthur and Kel’s lives are connected through a tragic thread. They slowly find each other as they delve through the depths of loneliness and surface beyond their pain to embrace life. Heartbreaking, complex, emotional, and filled with small grains of hope--I loved every minute of this book!
It’s taken me forever to come up with the words to describe this book, and I have come to the conclusion that I don't possess the words to do this book justice. All I can say is that it’s amazing! Read it.

Thank you for recommending this. What a great book!
Terrific review, Meredith! I'm glad this book spoke to you and you found it to be beautiful. Addiction is such a difficult issue to battle and overcome, and it can take so many forms., I'm glad the author decided to highlight that, and it sounds like it was well-done. :)

Terrific review, Meredith! Glad you loved it
I find it harder to write a review on novels that touch me most deeply, so I understand, Meredith. I have this one to read soon...because I loved The Unseen World by this author!
Wonderful review Meredith... I have the audiobook on hold😊
The audiobook was fabulous!!
