Publisher's Summary
"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.

You’ll enjoy spending time with Russel!
At 23, Russel Middlebrook feels clueless. His Seattle house(boat)mates have achieved things or at least have goals to achieve. He hates his two part time jobs, his one-night stands aren’t fulfilling, and he regrets past choices. Then a few things happen: he saves someone from drowning and he spots his ex-boyfriend in a crowd. Maybe his life is about to change … I thoroughly enjoyed this. It has that YA feel of someone figuring out their life with false starts, insecurities, and gentle humour. It’s gay fiction, rather than m/m romance although there is a romantic subplot. But don’t expect a neat red bow - Russel is on a LONG journey. Although this is the start of a new series, it’s actually the fifth Russel Middlebrook novel. Although I hadn’t read the earlier books, I didn’t feel at sea starting here but it does necessarily contain spoilers about the earlier books. That won’t stop me from going back and reading the original series - I liked Russel immensely as a character and I love the audio narrator, Josh Hurley, he’s absolutely fabulous.
