Bubby Welter is fifteen when life stops feeling predictable. His mother Carrie’s mental breakdown fractures their family, leaving both of them emotionally stranded. As Carrie retreats, Bubby struggles to navigate a world shaped by instability.
Poor decisions and their consequences follow—humiliation, damaged relationships, and growing frustration. With no clear path forward, Bubby turns toward the unanswered question that has always lingered: the identity of his absent father.
The search becomes a confrontation with loss, identity, and unresolved anger. Take a Look at Me Now is a coming-of-age novel about emotional suspension and the fragile hope for change when certainty disappears.
