We Should Hang Out Sometime

Embarrassingly, a True Story

De: Josh Sundquist

Narrado por: Josh Sundquist

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

When I was 25 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.)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

"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)

good story

do try for a light read...i liked it quite much n it had pretty decent ending too

It made me look at my life.

I finished this book over night. I was emotionally engaged with it. Thank you so much. I only wish I know my disability that keeps me from falling in love and finding my soul mate. I wish you all the happiness. Regard the book it was bueatifuly detailed and dicribteve it made me live through your experience with out poring me.

I loved it!!!!

This was such an inspirational and heart warming book. I loved listening to it and overall, it was perfect. I support you so much and you are my hero. you have taught me, that no matter how different you may be, you can still find love. thank you so much. keep doing what your doing Josh.
with love,

To Josh

I found myself increasingly connected to your story the longer I listened, and there's two main reasons why.

1) Because I've passed over guys before who liked me and never made a move, because they never said anything. BUT, I never said anything either, just like you, so I could relate! Since I knew this reasoning, I was practically screaming at you through the book, "Have confidence in yourself, you dummy!!!" haha.

2) My second reason is because I've over-judged myself in many ways over the years and I know it's affected my relationships through high school and college. I was always too harsh on myself and assumed no one would ever truly love me, and after a few "negative" relationships, I was going to stop trusting people all together and stop dating... I'm sp glad I met my current boyfriend Chris and took one last chance and elected to throw my heart in the open and trust him, because like your Ashley Sampsonite, he keeps me balanced. <3

So, thank you for the heart-to-heart and for all the fun math puns (good to know there's other cool nerds like me who love math ;D yea~ ), and I'm gonna go look into more books and material from you! :)

Very awkward and hilarious

The book was well written and easy to read. Toward the end the audio book skips a few parts but the point is still made

so funny!!

loved that josh read it himself! I laughed so much! very entertaining and easy to follow! we should hang out sometime josh!

Great book!

I loved this book soooo much! I finished it in one day (thanks to my trusty audible!). I think it's such a uplifting story about constantly thinking that this one flaw can change you're whole life. I really do recommend this book!

Enjoy it

Really like the book, especially since it was a guy point of view talking about his love and relationships, kinda short but it was really good.

Love the stories and the reading

It’s a great lesson on how we let our self consciousness, and self doubt get in our way and sabotage potential relationships and life opportunities.

Amazingly witty and thought provoking

I loved listening to this audiobook! It made me laugh and I saw a lot of my insecurities in the author while I am female and do not have a disability. I have always let my weight and insecurities regarding my body keep me single much like the author did with his amputation. This book made me laugh, cry and take a look at myself that has provoked me to take more chances and not let my perceived imperfections hold me back! Thank you so much for telling your story!
