Biography & Autobiography. Reference. Sociology. Young Adult Nonfiction. HTML:

From Paralympic ski racer and YouTube star, Josh Sundquist, comes an always-funny (and sometimes-awkward) memoir about teenage misadventures.


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 loveâ??or at least a girlfriendâ??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?"

Not quite what I expected but that’s both good and disappointing.

The good: Never would’ve guessed I would have so much in common with a Paralympian Presbyterian from Virginia. But the first chapter triggered some hilarious memories from my own evangelical upbringing and it set the tone for how real and relatable Josh’s experiences were.

The disappointing: Because I’m petty, I was expecting more direct closure with each girl. Like he sought them all out, told them about the book, and interrogated them. Which is delusional and weird so of course he would’ve have done that. I think the overall ending made up for it though. Also, along the same petty lines… a lot of those graphs had nothing to do with the story around them. They got more relevant as the book progressed but the early ones were very confusing. ( )

teen/adult audio nonfiction/humor - abridged (~6 hrs, read by author)

25-y.o. man with hip-level amputation (childhood cancer) from conservative Christian homeschooling family in Harrisonburg (VA?) questions his former crushes to figure out why he's never been considered good boyfriend material, to see if it was more than average adolescent awkwardness, dumb luck and inexperienced judgment that led to so many (hilarious) dating disasters.

Meh.

I don't think that it's right to perpetuate the myth that people need girlfriends before they're a mature 21.* In fact, my favorite from his stories was Paulette (or Paulina?) who seemed to know how to stand up for herself and, bonus points, know what she stood for.

And, to be quite clear about my biased star rating, he gives homeschooled kids a bad name.

* Personally, I feel like this impossible myth also gives rise to unhealthy anger (against self and others) and, unfounded, poor self-esteem among many single young people. You are worth much more than your relationship status and the state of your virginity. ( )

Is the concept of this book funny or is it creepy? I'm not really sure. ( )

Kind of funny, but kind of creepy. Some of my students have heard him speak, so they'll want to read this. It might work for some of my awkward boys, more as a how not to guide, rather than how to get a keep a girl. One of my female students thought it was pretty funny, though. I do have a little segment of memoir readers who'll be glad for a little levity. ( )
