Twenty six year old Josh is nowhere near where he'd thought he would be at this point in his life. A college dropout working as a pizza delivery man, his life is about as ordinary as it could be. One night while making the last delivery of his shift, Josh saves the life of a stranger, a twenty four year old named Sarah, who had attempted to commit suicide in front of his very eyes.
Deciding to respect Sarah’s wishes, Josh doesn’t take her to the hospital, but refuses to leave her alone out of fear that she will attempt to harm herself. Instead, he takes her back to his apartment, expecting to have a difficult time breaking through the woman’s walls and helping her out. However, he is surprised to find he actually enjoys spending time with Sarah and might even be developing feelings for her.
Once Sarah accepts that Josh only wants to help her, she becomes quite comfortable with her new life. For the first time in her life, she feels like she belongs somewhere, but her newfound happiness can only last for so long before her past comes back to haunt her. As it turns out, she hasn't been completely honest with her new friends about what drove her to commit suicide and inadvertently puts everyone she cares about in danger.

Let's Recelebrate - Book 1 (a Joshler story) (Celebrate ALTERNATE version)
Joshua Dun struggled with mental health. When his new friend Jenna introduced him to a certain artist that wrote songs about depression and suicidal thoughts, Josh knew he'd found the most important music he'd ever find. Tyler Joseph was an up-and-coming artist that played medium sized hometown shows, but only small shows outside of his home state, 'cause he hadn't gotten signed yet. As Josh becomes a bigger and more devoted fan over the years, Tyler becomes a bigger, more popular, more successful artist. While Josh loved Tyler's success, he secretly wished Tyler didn't become more and more distant from fans, and much harder to reach. Josh thought it was impossible to meet Tyler again, until one day, he takes a wrong turn and finds Tyler crying outside his tour bus. ~~THIS book is COMPLETE.
