Who knew?"Russel Middlebrook is twenty-three 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 older screenwriter named Vernie Rose, who seems to possess more than a bit of the wisdom of the universe. Or what the hell: maybe Russell will find some answers by joining his best friend Gunnar's obsessive search for the elusive, 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.Author Brent Hartinger first made a splash writing books for teens. The Thing I Didn't I Know I Didn't Know, his first book for adults, is just as much of a page-turner as his earlier books, with plenty of Hartinger's trademark irreverency and humor. But now his books have grown up along with his readers, exploring the issues of new adults, including complicated matters of love and sex.
