Summary via Goodreads:

A bright, poignant, and deeply funny autobiographical account of coming of age as an amputee cancer survivor, from Josh Sundquist: Paralympic ski racer, YouTube star, and motivational speaker.

Josh Sundquist only ever had one girlfriend.
For twenty-three hours.
In eighth grade.

Why was Josh still single? To find out, he tracked down the girls he had tried to date and asked them straight up: What went wrong?

The results of Josh's semi-scientific, wholly hilarious investigation are captured here. From a disastrous Putt-Putt date involving a backward prosthetic foot, to his introduction to CFD (Close Fast Dancing), to 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.

Why I'm Waiting...

I got the chance to meet Josh at BEA and he was really awesome. He took the time to chat with all his adoring lady fans, sign our books, pose for photos, etc. I love a good humor book since life is always throwing funnies our way. 

Check out his YouTube channel and you'll know immediately why I'm waiting! Plus, he's on the US National Amputee Soccer Team and will play in the World Cup in December, talk about an awesome book birthday!
