In "Sweet Boy: The Unintentional Offender," author Roberto Carlos Cruz Garcia takes readers on a candid and unapologetic journey through his life, revealing the inner workings of his unfiltered mind and its impact on those around him. In this reflective and often humorous memoir, Garcia explores the challenges he faces as he navigates a world that expects social norms and politeness. At the same time, his ADHD traits lead him to speak his mind without restraint. From childhood incidents that left a trail of raised eyebrows to his present-day struggles with societal perceptions, Garcia unflinchingly delves into his experiences, offering a glimpse into the complexity of his identity and the courage it takes to embrace it. "Sweet Boy" is a thought-provoking and heartwarming account that challenges readers to rethink assumptions about what lies behind the label of an "asshole" and to embrace the beauty of authenticity.
