About this ebook

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 semi-scientific investigation are in this book. 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.)

Ratings and reviews

To whoever made this book…My grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, ‘If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you need to stop immediately’ Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized exactly what was at stake. He quit that very day. Three years later my grandfather died of lung cancer. We were very close, and his death destroyed me. My mother said to me, ‘Please never smoke, don’t put your family through what your grandfather put us through.’ I agreed. At 17, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it because your book was so bad it gave me cancer anyway. PLEASE, please never make books again.

I totally feel Josh's pain but he was dating Evelyn I got a crush on my best friend to didn't go so well. my best friend actually lied to me I asked him if he liked me he said yes and then on Friday he told me he didn't like me and I got completely mad over it. I felt his pain when he said that he liked his best friend Evelyn. it's like you don't want to ruin your friendship but you still want to tell them at the same time. The part with Evelyn was definitely my favorite part.;)

Read this whole thing in under a day! I'm so glad I am subscribed to IJustine on youtube otherwise I would not have known about this incredible book and person. It's so relatable and I'm definitely subscribing to Josh!
