Review An Amazon.ca Best Book for Children and Teens SelectionA YALSA Teens Top Ten Nominee "You should read this book sometime. I loved it so much."--Justine Ezarik, New York Times bestselling author of I, Justine: An Analog Memoir"[A] laugh-out-loud memoir...This is a unique, earnest, and funny coming-of-age story about Sundquists experiences. Readers will appreciate the humorous and often embarrassingly accurate tales depicted in the pages of this book."--SLJ"[Sundquists] findings are illuminating for anyone who has experienced social awkwardness in the field of attraction...and his gift for encouragement shines forcefully from his final chapters, where he assesses what went wrong and relates how he has used his new self-awareness to find love. Readers familiar with Sundquists website and YouTube channel will be a natural audience for this."--The Bulletin "An autobiographical account thats equal parts hilarious and cringe-inducing...While his recent interviews and meetings with the girls from his past are often just as uncomfortable as their dates were, they also lead to answers as genuine as his narrative."--Publishers Weekly"Josh Sundquist has written a sharp, funny memoir without an ounce of self-pity about how the fear of rejection can be far more crippling than any disease. A hilarious, heartfelt reminder that finding the courage to accept love is an inside job."--Aaron Hartzler, author of Rapture Practice"Joshs voice is engaging and conversational, and readers will relate as they laugh along at his misadventures. From a disastrous putt-putt date to just general, suffusing awkwardness, Josh (who grew up to be a Paralympic ski racer) discovers that revisiting the past can be both embarrassing and enlightening. Irresistible fun."--Booklist"Often hilarious, occasionally awkward, and always hopeful, Joshs quest for love will have readers rooting for him all the way."--Jennifer E. Smith, author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight and The Geography of You and Me"Sundquist has written a compelling memoir, to which teens will be able to relate, as it probes the universal insecurities of teen dating."--School Library Connection "Sundquist is a storyteller-flawed, wry, laid-back and sympathetic. Anyone whos felt awkward will alternately (or simultaneously) wince and burst out laughing at his earnest misadventures with stalkers, "Close Fast Dancing" and flow charts... but above all, theyll be rooting for Sundquist to hang out with a girl. Funny, sympathetic and poignant, Sundquists memoir has a high probability of success."--Kirkus Reviews Long Description Josh Sundquist had only ever had one girlfriend. For 23 hours. In eighth grade.
