Publisher Description
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 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.)

“Sundquist is a storyteller-flawed, wry, laid-back and sympathetic. Anyone who’s 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, they’ll be rooting for Sundquist to hang out with a girl. Funny, sympathetic and poignant, Sundquist’s memoir has a high probability of success.”
