The Thing I Didn't Know I Didn't Know

De: Brent Hartinger

Narrado por: Josh Hurley

"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.

Mixed feelings

It's simple. Adulting is hard! I mean paying bills, finding a career or job, and then that special someone. And not in that order! What do you do when you walk away?

An OK story I heard better.

The story length was really good. I liked it because I could finish it within two days. But I did not like the obvious conclusion of the book. Plus the main character was sort of negative during the whole story which resulted in me losing interest quickly. In the end I was actually hoping that the story would end sooner rather than later.

loved it.

I think we all struggle with the thing I didn't know I didn't know. I say we don't have what we want because we don't know what we want. beautiful story

Was really good

I finished this book in a day while doing chores around the house I love that each character had personality

OK

A little (a lot) preachy, and judgemental. Narrator was good and I liked the way the sex was handled..
