About this listen

"I guess this was what they meant by a loss of innocence. Who knew?"

Russel Middlebrook is 23 years old, gay, and living in trendy Seattle, but life isn't keeping up with the hype. Most of his friends have a direction in life - either ruthlessly pursuing their careers or passionately embracing their own aimlessness. But Russel is stuck in place. All he knows is that crappy jobs, horrible dates, and pointless hook-ups just aren't cutting it anymore.

What's the secret? What does everyone else know that he doesn't?

Enter Kevin, Russel's perfect high school boyfriend. Could rekindling an old flame be the thing Russel needs to get his life back on track? Or maybe the answer lies in a new friend, an eccentric screenwriter named Vernie Rose, who seems plenty wise. Or what the hell? Maybe Russel will find some answers by joining his best friend Gunnar's crazy search for the legendary bigfoot!

One way or another, Russel is determined to learn the all-important secret to life, even if it's a thing he doesn't even know he doesn't know.

This was a very enjoyable audiobook, I have read some of the the other books in this series and heard one other as an audiobook. It’s great that they’re read by the same person.

It’s also good to follow the stories of the other characters who are pivotal in Russel’s life, and I found it easy and very entertaining to follow his thought processes and feel they’re described well.

As with the other books in the series, you just have to allow the story to go where it goes; it’s not predictable or pretentious, and presented in such a way that you really do want to keep coming back to it. And I found this was because I was genuinely interested in it.

Reading (or in this case, listening) to a book and really feeling like I understand the characters and their actions is testimony to a great author. As is probably obvious, I would highly recommend it.

Funny, well paced, and informative.
