Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired is the first novel from young Western Massachusetts author David O'Leary Wielgosz. The book follows the saga of Gardner Fox, a teenage boy coming to grips with the idea that life isn't the perfect dream world he always imagined it being. However, instead of dealing with his issues like a regular person he decides to turn himself into the ideal young man, and he soon learns that the person he's slowly becoming is much worse than the person he once was. Fox deals with the ideas of life, death, love, friendship, sexuality, and reality all in a short time, and truly wonders if he can deal with it all.
