One Rejection Is Enough

A romantic comedy

Out now

One rejection was supposed to be enough. Ryan kept finding new ways to test the theory.

From a first neighborhood crush in New York to mixed signals, disastrous dates, and adult relationships in Florida, Ryan wants what plenty of people want: affection, sex, and somebody who’s glad he showed up. Getting there proves considerably more complicated than saying, “Okay, cool, no problem.”

Told in a candid first-person voice, this fictionalized romantic comedy follows a wheelchair user through questions about sexuality, the pull of popularity, the mistakes he makes, and the relationships he has to leave. There are old crushes, an unexpected engagement-ring conversation, a move to Clearwater that goes badly, and a dog who offers the most reliable welcome of all.

Funny, profane, and sometimes painful, One Rejection Is Enough is a story about wanting love, learning what daily life together requires, and finding contentment without waiting for someone else to provide the ending.

For adult readers. Contains strong language, bullying, and relationship abuse.
