Adam Martin considers himself an aging, melancholic millennial and survivor of romantic misfortunes. In a contemporary, self-aware collection of writings that innovatively plays with time and perspectives, Martin shares personal anecdotes, therapy notes, and satirical examinations of masculinity in pop culture that offer insight into his unique view of life, his relationships, and others around him. In an entertaining journey through his coming-of-age years while enduring a pseudo conservative Christian upbringing, Martin recounts stories from ghosts of girlfriends past, beginning with his first kiss in elementary school when a classmate puckered up and planted one on his cheek, much to his dismay. As he details how he was introduced to the game of Truth or Dare as an uncertain prepubescent boy, moved on from a suffocating cheerleader and first crush, and navigated through several relationships in college and beyond, Martin shares reflective side comments while revealing candid insight into his one-of-a-kind experiences as he tries to secure romantic stability while maintaining his sanity and true self. Comedy Minus Time is the satirical narrative of an aging millenial's perspectives regarding the anxieties and mishaps surrounding his romantic relationships.
