But he's on his way, what with memorable roles as a TV show background cadaver and a guy in a commercial for herpes medication. All he needs is his big break. And that break may come in the form of a novelist who goes by the enigmatic name of Q-Bert.
Q-Bert, who is ready to make his directorial debut in a film Josy would be perfect for. Q-Bert, who Josy may or may not have a friend-crush on, and potentially something more. Being demisexual can be confusing.
From the City of Angels to the small mountain town of Abby, Oregon, Josy will give his all to make sure his dreams come true - even the ones he never thought possible.

Story
Do you believe in love at first sight? Paul Auster doesn't. Paul doesn't believe in much at all. He's thirty, slightly overweight, and his best features are his acerbic wit and the color commentary he provides as life passes him by. His closest friends are a two-legged dog named Wheels and a quasibipolar drag queen named Helena Handbasket. He works a dead-end job in a soul-sucking cubicle, and if his grandmother's homophobic parrot insults him one more time, Paul is going to wring its stupid neck.

Story
Three years ago, Bear McKenna’s mother took off for parts unknown with her new boyfriend, leaving Bear to raise his six-year-old brother Tyson, aka the Kid. Somehow they’ve muddled through, but since he’s totally devoted to the Kid, Bear isn’t actually doing much living. With a few exceptions, he’s retreated from the world, and he’s mostly okay with that - until Otter comes home. Otter is Bear’s best friend’s older brother, and as they’ve done for their whole lives, Bear and Otter crash and collide in ways neither expect.

To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Especially if you’re a supervillain like me. The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine.

Story
On April 27, 1997, four contestants make it to the final cell of the Quigley House, a full-contact haunted escape room in Lincoln, Nebraska, made famous for its monstrosities, booby-traps, and ghoulishly costumed actors. If the group can endure these horrors without shouting the safe word, “reprieve,” they’ll win a substantial cash prize - a startling feat accomplished only by one other group in the house’s long history. But before they can complete the challenge, a man breaks into the cell and kills one of the contestants.

What I wanted for my birthday: Books. What I got for my birthday: my brother’s best friend playing matchmaker. Let it be known that I am 100 percent against being set up with somebody. And I’m 1,000 percent sure that Josh Carter's not the man to find me a boyfriend. I mean, if I’m so great, why isn’t he the one dating me? (For the record, I don’t know the answer. That’s just what the guy on the internet asked.) I’ll humor him. If I go on his little dates, he’ll teach my bookish, introverted self how not to be totally, completely, utterly, unforgivably awkward.

Q-Bert & Josaih, a match made in Abby
4.5 - 5 stars for book and narration.
Josiah Erickson is another amazing character from the mind of TJ Klune. He ranks so close to Gustavo Tiberius in epicness.
I am not a stoner and so some of this is not in my understanding, but it is still that zany Abby in Oregon and all the wonderful people that make this another winner in my mind. Sometimes it almost seems as if Klune uses the old Mad Libs from my childhood to create the fantastical places, situations, characters, etc that make up the stories from Abby. At times I thought I recognized Dr. Scott from Rocky Horror Picture Show and several other potential homages to past surreal characters.
The actual romance is so sweet, as is the continuation of Casey and Gustavo's relationship as well.
As the subtitle is called (How to Be, #2) and with such a large cast of unique characters that have not fully resolved, I am hoping that inspiration will occur for TJ and we will again be inextricable drawn to Abby again. Of course that will be a re listen to #1 and #2 again.

This story of a queer, demisexual, stoner, hipster, actor falling in love just might be the most perfect light-hearted romance ever written. Michael Lesley, the narrator, has a perfect feel for the characters and brings them to life. You should listen to this book.

I laughed. I cried. I couldn't stop listening. I almost didn't sleep.
It was a little jarring to go from the first book to the second with a new narrator, but they're equally fabulous and Michael Lesley was perfect for this book. So, so good. I wish I was an alien so I could give his performance even more than 2 thumbs up.

It's the simpler things
I absolutely loved this audiobook and its story. I swear that TJ Klune and Michael Lesley are a match made in writer-narrator heaven. The story is nice and sweet. The characters are funny and likeable. I found myself actually laughing out loud at some scenes in the way that only Klune's writing and Lesley's narration gets me. Highly recommend to anyone in the mood for a sweet story with a happy ending,

Oh to live in Abby
For some reason, I really want to get high right now. I'm not sure which movie I want to see more. The one they're making or the book itself. This series is so fun. The stories are really laid back with awesomely crazy (in the best way) dialogue and characters. I so want to live in that little town and still own a video player so that I can rent movies to watch on it (while utilizing Vlad the Inhaler). ;)

Best book ever
I will admit to being a die hard bibliophile. I read a lot and love a lot of what I read. But very little compares to the experiences I have reading TJ Klune’s books. This one for example was pretty much perfect. It’s a sequel to how to be normal. I think this was surpasses that one by a mile. The characters are so lovable and quirky. They are both believable and whimsical at the same time. You can tell that the book has a very personal note. It talks a lot about dealing with depression and anxiety but in a way that makes it accessible and fun. Michael Lesley has to be one of my favorite American narrators. I wish I read more books. All in all worth every penny and every second

Love ❤️
It’s been months since I listened to a tj Klune book.
Wow. Why did I wait so long?
Amazing, insightful, not to mention hysterically funny are to name but a few words to describe “how to be a movie star”,
Helps if you listened to the 1st of the “how to be” series, but not a requirement. Anyway, why would you not listen to it first. It’s equally brilliant.
The narration. What can a say? Another superb performance by a master narrator Michael Lesley who brings the story to life and adds such vast depth/array of color.
Well done to you both.

I loved this book. These characters are all so lovable and touching. My new literary hero is Josie. I will always aspire to be as good and pure as this character. Thank you TJ Kline for creating and thank you Michael Lesley for bringing them to life as only you could do.
