Times are hard at Dwayne's Dogs, once the premier hot dog stand in the popular tourist destination of Buttmouth Bay. When the council threatens to revoke his street trading licence, Herb realises the time has come to open the sealed envelope bequeathed by his late father in case the family business should ever face mortal peril.

Following his father's vague instructions, Herb journeys with his grill cook to a distant land in search of the lost ingredient for his father's famous hot dog relish. Instead, they find a secret in the desert that threatens to upend the world as they know it...


AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey! :) This novel is a kind of meandering adventure comedy, with the occasional glob of pseudo-philosophical gloom spliced in between the wackiness.

There are some mentions of suicide (nothing graphic), hence the 'mature' rating. There is also some infrequent swearing, but mostly I try to keep things light. I'm very sorry, but there is no sexual content. :(

If you decide to read anyway, enjoy!

Best wishes,

Sweaty Dave

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION There are imperfect moments in every life-but sometimes, there are perfect accidents . . . What's the point of pretending nothing has changed when everything has? It's the last summer before college, and Jonas Avery knows he should be excited. Instead, he hides out at home, avoiding his friends, his family, and everything that resembles his old life. Because nothing will be normal again-because of The Accident, when everything started falling apart. Brennan Davis knows she needs to stand up and face her anxiety-the deep, dark, debilitating dread that rules her everyday life. Because what stops her from going out into the world and just living is going to get a whole lot worse. She's leaving for college in the fall, where she'll be confronted with even more to worry about. To get back up sometimes you have to fall down, hard . . . When Jonas crashes into Brennan-in a harmless, albeit embarrassing fender bender-the two teens connect in ways they never expected. As friends, they help each other overcome their biggest falls and faults, and soon discover that while love can't fix everything, it's sometimes a place to start. Sensitive, wry, and unabashedly authentic, The Opposite of Falling Apart isn't about finding perfection in another person or fixing the things we think are broken. Instead, Micah Good has penned an enchantingly honest novel about accepting the very pieces of ourselves that make us unique, whole, and undeniably human.
