Q-Bert, who is ready to make his directorial debut in a film Josy would be perfect for. Q-Bert, who Josy may or may not have a friend-crush on, and potentially something more. Being demisexual can be confusing.
From the City of Angels to the small mountain town of Abby, Oregon, Josy will give his all to make sure his dreams come true—even the ones he never thought possible.
If you loved the exchange between Josy and Gus in How to be a Normal Person, where they ad-lib the Chicken Soup commercial and turn it into one of the darkest scenes for Chicken Soup ever, then you will love this glimpse into Josy’s life.
A continuation of the ridiculousness that was How to be a Normal Person (one of my favourite books for quirky fun) I’m so glad TJ Klune was compelled against his word of no sequels, to produce this. I know he wasn’t expecting it (going by his blog post) but I’m glad it’s out there.
Quincy is making a ridiculous movie backed by his grandfather, and Josy has been cast as the leading man. They are filming in Abby so all the favs from the first book are back in action.
Josy is a method actor and will be in character at the most inopportune times. He also has a friend-crush on his now director boss, which causes all sorts of weirdness and hilarity.
If you like stoner-hipster stereotypes with weird dialogue and not quite reality, you’ll enjoy this book. It is a piece of abstract art that is a celebration of all that could be if you just believe you’re awesome, smoke a lot of weed, and ignore the world around you.
There is a lot of sweetness in this story, and Josy is everything I imagine him to be. Quite frankly, he is adorable, and the most clueless being I have ever read. It's endearing.
I do recommend you read the first book before you read this, as the character background, especially Gus, is required to fully enjoy this story.
Recommended to everyone who enjoyed How to be a Normal Person.
