What do you do when your best friend dies, your son is growing up too fast, and you're stuck trying to figure out how to hold everything together?
In My Thoughts in Orbit, Josh Givens delivers a raw, darkly funny, and beautifully honest memoir about grief, fatherhood, and finding your footing in the chaos of real life. A former newspaper columnist and single dad, Givens writes with the kind of emotional clarity that stops you in your tracks-whether he's reflecting on depression, navigating co-parenting, or mourning a friendship that shaped his life.
Told in punchy vignettes, personal essays, and quiet revelations, this book will resonate with fans of Matthew McConaughey's Greenlights, Jenny Lawson's Furiously Happy, and David Sedaris's dark wit. If you've ever lost someone, loved someone, or just tried to survive your own overthinking brain, this one's for you.
A tribute to friendship, memory, and the weird poetry of everyday life, My Thoughts in Orbit will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even call your best friend.
