We Should Hang Out Sometime: Embarrassingly, a True Story

Book Overview
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.)

Humble & Hopeful: A Great Read!
Published by , 8 years ago
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 the one hand. On the other; it is brave, bold, and courageous. Wholly admirable and humorous, reading We Should Hang Out Sometime is absolutely one of the best ways I can think of to spend some time. Mr. Sundquist’s open honesty and sincerity make the book. I want to give a copy of this to everyone I know.
Mr. Sundquist’s “true story” is many, many things. Embarrassing should not be one of them. Quite the opposite. He should be filled with pride to actually do what so many of us fantasize about…..go back and ask “WHY?”
I believe that the answers he received surprised him and that he was able to learn from them to understand more about himself. As it turns out, he finally found the answer to the one question he couldn’t ask aloud. He was the only person that could truly answer the most relevant question. Finally, he did.
Well done.
