""SLJ""" Praise for "We Should Hang Out Sometime" "Sundquist is a storyteller-flawed, wry, laid-back and sympathetic.

"Justine Ezarik, "New York Times" bestselling author of "I, Justine: An Analog Memoir""" "Sundquist has written a compelling memoir, to which teens will be able to relate, as it probes the universal insecurities of teen dating."--School Library Connection "[Sundquist's] findings are illuminating for anyone who has experienced social awkwardness in the field of attraction...and his gift for encouragement shines forcefully from his final chapters, where he assesses what went wrong and relates how he has used his new self-awareness to find love. Readers familiar with Sundquist's website and YouTube channel will be a natural audience for this."--The Bulletin "Josh's voice is engaging and conversational, and readers will relate as they laugh along at his misadventures. From a disastrous putt-putt date to just general, suffusing awkwardness, Josh (who grew up to be a Paralympic ski racer) discovers that revisiting the past can be both embarrassing and enlightening. Irresistible fun."--Booklist "[A] laugh-out-loud memoir...This is a unique, earnest, and funny coming-of-age story about Sundquist's experiences.
