We Should Hang Out Sometime
Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
A bright, poignant, and deeply funny autobiographical account of coming of age as an amputee cancer survivor, from Josh Sundquist: Paralympic ski racer, YouTube star, and motivational speaker.
Josh Sundquist had only ever had one girlfriend.
For 23 hours.
In eighth grade.
Why was Josh still single? To find out, he tracked down the girls he had tried to date and asked them straight up: What went wrong?
We Should Hang Out Sometime is the result of Josh's semi-scientific, wholly hilarious investigation. From a disastrous putt-putt date involving a backwards prosthetic foot to his introduction to CFD (Close Fast Dancing) to 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. We Should Hang Out Sometime is for every person who has ever wondered, "is there something wrong with me?" (the answer, by the way, is "no").
By revisiting middle school, high school, and college experiences, inspirational speaker Josh Sundquist shares what it was like to grow up as "the guy with one leg." Interspersed with the author's black-and-white line art, this real life story will appeal to fans of The Fault In Our Stars and Ned Vizzini's Teen Angst.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Justine Ezarik, New York Times bestselling author of I, Justine: An Analog Memoir, recommends: "You should read this book sometime. I loved it so much." School Library Journal praises it as a "laugh-out-loud memoir," a unique and earnest coming-of-age story rich in humour and authenticity. The Bulletin highlights Sundquist's insightful reflections on social awkwardness and attraction, noting his uplifting encouragement in the final chapters. This candid, autobiographical tale balances hilarity and cringe-worthy moments while delivering genuine answers about love and self-awareness.
