genre: contemporary fiction
Josh's life has crashed to a halt. His girlfriend refused his proposal, he's lost his job and he's had to move back in with his parents at the age of 25. He feels completely unable to make a competent decision for himself so instead of improving himself, he decides to leave all his decision making to a coin. Using the flip of a coin to decide how to live his life definitely lets Josh take a bit of a mental break but it turns out, it doesn't actually solve anything. And when he happens to meet a girl - that might be THE girl - will the coin help him finally find happiness?
Meh. I had a hard time investing in Josh. He never felt super fleshed out (except for his self absorption) and the coin flipping thing just didn't ever zing for me. The pet rabbit, the quiz show, sometimes I just felt like I was reading STUFF instead of a story with a real plot. Funny enough, I did really like the ending. I liked how his love story played out. It just took too long to get there for me say I enjoyed the whole thing.
