In a little over a month, Joe will release When You Grow Up, You Can Be Anything (Within Reason). This is the part where we keep you updated on how the book is proceeding and if everything is still a go.

Well, in case you were wondering (and you are if you’re here), it is proceeding quite well and everything is still a go for an April 8 release!

Many of the same characters you met in the first book of the Connor Reynolds series, 0.00: Tales of the Sober Kid At College, including Connor himself, his best friend, Mike, and more. The difference is that this time, they’re four years older and on their way out of the friendly confines of Garfield State University.

Does it introduce new characters, you ask? Of course it does! It would be pretty boring if it didn’t. On April 8, you’ll get to meet some of Connor’s new friends — and adversaries — as he journeys towards putting his adult life together.
