We Should Hang Out Sometime by Josh Sundquist was one of those books that I went into not really knowing what to expect and I have to say, by the time I finished the book, I was glad I made the decision to read it.
This book isn’t what I would consider my normal read and I think that is what I liked about it. Josh has a pretty different story. Add to that the fact that he tends to focus on the positive and has a unique voice and I was turning the pages to better understand why he hadn’t had a girlfriend for longer than twenty three hours….in the eighth grade.
As I mentioned, Sundquist has a unique story and embedded in that story is a deeper dive into why he hasn’t had a serious relationship. As Josh sets out to investigate what really happened, I found myself laughing out loud at some of the things I was reading. One of the things I enjoyed was how upfront Josh is about the role religion played in his house growing up and the fact that he was homeschooled until freshman year.
There is a section of the book for each girl that Josh conducted his investigation into… he ties in a hypothesis, some graphs, and his findings which absolutely make the book the great account that it is. But as Josh finds out, what it all really comes down to in the end is that he needed to accept himself and face his fears that he might get rejected…and it is ok.
If you are looking for a quick read that will have you turning the pages wondering just what Josh will find out in this “semiscientific, wholly hilarious investigation” definitely check this book out. I found it entertaining and Josh’s voice is definitely unique.
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy!
