About this listen

Andy Carter was happy. He had a solid job. He ran 5Ks for charity. He was living a nice, safe Midwestern existence. And then his wife left him for a handsome paramedic down the street.

We're All Damaged begins after Andy has lost his job, ruined his best friend's wedding, and moved to New York City, where he lives in a tiny apartment with an angry cat named Jeter that isn't technically his. But before long he needs to go back to Omaha to say good-bye to his dying grandfather.

Back home, Andy is confronted with his past, which includes his ex, his ex's new boyfriend, his right-wing talk-radio-host mother, his parents' crumbling marriage, and his still-angry best friend.

As if these old problems weren't enough, Andy encounters an entirely new complication: Daisy. She has fifteen tattoos, no job, and her own difficult past. But she claims she is the only person who can help Andy be happy again, if only she weren't hiding a huge secret that will mess things up even more. Andy Carter needs a second chance at life, and Daisy - and the person Daisy pushes Andy to become - may be his last chance to set things right.

I bought it because of the reviews, but I think I read a different book.

Totally forgettable.

Well this book starts off with Andy who appears to have it all. A good job, a wife he adores until during a dinner date with her she says she wants to leave him. The affect of her decision has a terrible affect on him. We see him spiralling out of control then he leaves for another city to start again. He is a bartender and not getting very far and everything in his life is mediocre.

One day Andy receives a call from his mother to come home as his Grandfather is dying. We then see a catalogue of errors on his part, not to mention his family and their secrets.

This was a book I picked free on FirstbReads as it is called now a few years ago, not what I would choose now but there were some comical moments and the swearing sometimes felt like swearing for swearing sake, not always needed.

Not for me

Didn't make me laugh once ,not a book id describe as humorous at all.
