TJ Klune

4 Stoner Stars

A fitting sequel to [b:How to Be a Normal Person|25548442|How to Be a Normal Person (How to Be, #1)|T.J. Klune|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1437768781l/25548442._SY75_.jpg|45341713].

Let me say this. Josiah is the Biggest. Man. Child. Ever. And I mean that in the nicest, most sincere, bestest way possible.

If you could take a Joey Tribbiani, instill him with hipster stoner vibes, take out the blatant sexuality, and fill him with all the innocent goodness around, then you’d have Josy.

Josy is the most lovable guy with the biggest heart of gold. He may not be the smartest kid on the block, but he sure is the brightest light with the biggest dose of optimism.

Of course you’ll laugh. A tear or two may be shed. If you want to put your own cynical grouchy self to the side for a few hours, Josy here, will help you do it!

If only more people were as giving and kind and earnest. The world needs all the Josy’s possible. Read this to get your dose!… (mehr)

4 Stars!!

As always, I’m late to the Klune party, but I enjoyed this no less than everyone else.

I just have to say that I totally connected with Gus. He’s my kindred spirit, my spirit animal, my brother from another mother. Seriously, I could relate to this guy so much - introverted grumpy reserved - so very very droll, and I loved pretty much everything about his neurotic self.

Make no mistake, Casey’s no slouch either! His stoner persona imbued a Keanu-esque vibe that I fell hard for, and he was all things happiness and easy going.

Not as extreme as some of Klune’s other comedies, but it still had kooky friends, the theme of family, and always the requisite laughter, feels, and tears.

I don’t know why I doubt Klune’s talent every time I start a new series or book of his (blasphemy, I know), but I’m happy to say he hasn’t let me down yet!
