Josh Sundquist

When I was twenty-five years old, it came to my attention that I had never had a girlfriend. At the time, I was actually under the impression that I was in a relationship, so this bit of news came as something of a shock. Why was Josh still single? To find out, he tracked down each of the girls he had tried to date since middle school and asked them straight up: What went wrong? The results of Josh's semiscientific investigation are in your hands. From a disastrous Putt-Putt date involving a backward prosthetic foot, to his introduction to CFD (Close Fast Dancing), and a misguided "grand gesture" at a Miss America pageant, this story is about looking for love--or at least a girlfriend--in all the wrong places. Poignant, relatable, and totally hilarious, this memoir is for anyone who has ever wondered, "Is there something wrong with me?" (Spoiler Alert: the answer is no.)

We Should Hang Out Sometime

I used to be a big fan of Josh's and put his books on my wishlist then. Last year they popped up really cheap on medimops so I got them. I actually quite enjoyed the accessibility of this book and ended up finishing it in less than 24 hours.

Because sometimes you have to read books that relate to your lack of a love life and recognize that we all have insecurities and that life can be surprising at times when it comes to timing.

I don't know guys, this dude was just kinda sleazy. I can't agree with some of the things he did and said in this book and also, as much as I understood, none of the girls knew they'd end up in a book. That's not really okay, is it?

Super misogynistic. Some of the women/girls in the stories it's like he didnt even ask out so?? How do they count as him being rejected?? Ugh it was so infuriating

Loved this story! This is a book I can see me sharing with my daughter years from now to show that other people can feel scared, insecure and awkward AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW! This was a quick read that made me laugh out loud in parts. Give this one a shot!

What's between these pages is pure honesty, and it's hard not to fall in love a little bit with Josh. He openly shares his whole dating experience, right down to those cringe worthy moments we all wish we could forget. He does it in a way that is sweet at times, hilarious at others, and touching in a way that's hard to ignore. I'll tell you, I've never been a big fan of memoir type books. Normally I'm all about getting lost in anything but reality. In this case though? Josh's story was so well written, and so engrossing, you couldn't have kept me from finishing it.
 
I think what struck me most is how genuine Josh's character in the book feels. It's like reading a really funny fictional story, but at the same time at the back of your mind you remember that he's telling you all about his real life. Sure things might be changed a bit, but all the events, all the funny moments, all the rejections, those actually happened. With a bit of wit, lots of graphs/diagrams, and some adorable musings on being a teenage boy, he made it through it all. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to share all of that, but I'll fully admit I loved every minute of reading it.
 
Read this. Trust me, it's worth your time! If you're looking for something that is going to hit you right in that big ball of emotions you call a heart, this is going to be it.

A very interesting read. Josh has a unique voice, which makes the novel all that more enjoyable to read. He also tells his non-fiction stories really well.
