Synopsis

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.)

Goodreads review by Christine on March 22, 2015

I loved the concept here and the overall message of the book - but i do feel like the general storytelling cycle from crush to crush became little repetitive as the book went. It was a super quick entertaining read though and I did enjoy myself. More detailed thoughts here in my booktalk: [URL not allowed]......more

This book was so great! If you're a fan of Josh Sundquist's YouTube videos (youtube.com/joshsundquist) you're sure to enjoy this book. The stories were awkward, hilarious, and at times relatable. The one thing that I felt would've improved this book was a stronger ending. Other than that, this book......more

Goodreads review by jv on December 04, 2021

Mr. Sundquist is immediately like-able….more than that, he’s embraceable. In no time I just wanted to scoop him up and carry around in my pocket. Later, “I wanted to be the parrot on his shoulder” (I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson). His story is sweet, honest and little bit heart-breaking, on th......more

Goodreads review by Aj the Ravenous Reader on June 20, 2017

I’m not much of a non-fiction reader, that much is obvious from the titles I read. I’m definitely not a huge fan of autobiographies especially when celebrities write them but I took an exception with this book because the title alone already shouts, “READ ME! “ so read it I did. Here we have a Youtu......more

Quotes

Praise for We Should Hang Out Sometime:"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."—Kirkus Reviews

"[A] laugh-out-loud memoir...This is a unique, earnest, and funny coming-of-age story about Sundquist's experiences as a cancer survivor, amputee, Paralympic ski racer, and motivational speaker. Readers will appreciate the humorous and often embarrassingly accurate tales depicted in the pages of this book."—SLJ

"An autobiographical account that's 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

"Often hilarious, occasionally awkward, and always hopeful, Josh's 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

"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
