About This Book
Reach for this book when your teen is struggling with the awkwardness of social rejection or feels like their physical differences make them unlovable. Josh Sundquist, a Paralympic skier who lost his leg to cancer as a child, uses a unique pseudo-scientific approach to investigate why he was chronically single throughout his teenage years. He tracks down former crushes to ask the ultimate question: Why didn't you want to date me? This memoir is a masterclass in vulnerability and self-deprecating humor. It addresses deep-seated insecurities about body image and disability while remaining incredibly relatable to any teen navigating the high school social hierarchy. It is a lighthearted yet profound tool for normalizing the 'cringe' of growing up and building the resilience needed to find genuine self-worth.
