Germany is a maladaptive daydreamer. He struggles to get work done and is struggling in college because he can't focus to save his life. He accidentally runs into Poland (quite literally) one day while on his way to class. Poland is the kind of person who reads people easily, but for some reason he just can't figure Germany out. He can tell that there is definitely something different about the country, so he makes it his goal to befriend Germany and find out what kind of secrets he is hiding from the world. - - - - - I just want to say that this book is meant to bring more awareness to a condition called maladaptive daydreaming. I'm not very good ad describing it so I'll let you go google it yourself. Either way it's a serious condition that can really screw someone's life up if given the chance.
