"A unique, earnest, and funny coming-of-age story" from a Paralympic ski racer and YouTube star -inspiration for the AppleTV+ series Best Foot Forward (School Library Journal).

When I was twenty-five years old, it came to my attention that I 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 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 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.)

"You should read this book sometime. I loved it so much."-Justine Ezarik, New York Times-bestselling author of I, Justine: An Analog Memoir

"Funny, sympathetic and poignant."-Kirkus Reviews

"Equal parts hilarious and cringe-inducing."-Publishers Weekly

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

"Josh's voice is engaging and conversational, and readers will relate as they laugh along at his misadventures ... Irresistible fun."-Booklist
