Vincible: A New Adult Comedy Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 49 ratings

Life is like a party balloon. You never know when it's going to explode.

What do you do when you wake up to find a video of your drunken stupor has gone viral on Reddit? Or social media is filled with your ex-girlfriend living the party life now that she’s finally dumped you?

Jake Durham is suddenly single again, and things are going downhill fast.

Armed with nothing but a half-charged phone and questionable advice from his equally disoriented friends, Jake dives headfirst into the chaos of dating apps, HR disasters, and mornings-after that make him question every life choice.

He’s swiping, stumbling, and self-sabotaging his way through post-breakup purgatory—one awkward encounter at a time.

But just as he starts to get the hang of this brave new world, a string of hilarious (and humiliating) mishaps threatens to blow up his fragile new normal.

Can Jake find meaning—or even love—in the wreckage of his life, or is he doomed to an eternity of others (justifiably) swiping left?

Vincible is a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud comedy about heartbreak, modern masculinity, and figuring out who you are after everything falls apart.

Perfect for fans of High Fidelity, Fleabag, and anyone who’s ever swiped right on chaos and called it self-discovery.

From the Publisher

Breakups are hard, but getting dumped is easy.
He's determined to move on because there's no way she'd take him back.
Every date is an opportunity to embarrass yourself

Editorial Reviews

Review

  • "A standout entry into the canon of twenty/thirty-something fiction, VINCIBLE is for anyone who's been ghosted, fired, or just spectacularly misunderstood— and still managed to laugh about it later. Jay Jameston proves himself not just a keen observer of contemporary life, but a refreshingly original voice in fiction. Highly recommended." —American Writing Awards
  • "The book shines when it leans into Jake's self-deprecating voice."Fans of Fiction
  • ​​​​​​"Vincible captivates you from the first page thanks to Jameston's witty banter and captivating narrative. It's the kind of book you can't put down since Jake's mishaps are both hilarious and embarrassing. It's the kind of thing you can't look away from because you just need to know what happens next, and you're also grateful you're not him.—Annalise Reads
  • "If you want an entertaining, light-hearted and genuinely quite funny read, which doesn't promise to go anywhere profound or thought-provoking, this will be ideal for you... Jay is quality, and I would very much like to read more from him." —Matt McAvoy Book Review
  • "Jameston nails the monotony of corporate life, from timecard fraud to cringey team-building events, with a cynicism that feels earned."Book Inform
  • "The dialogue crackles with snark..." Share Goblin

Witty and relatable
This book opens with a beautiful woman named Gwen abruptly ending her years-long relationship with the main character, Jake. As Jake struggles to come to terms with the sudden loss of his partner, he simultaneously grapples with the ups and downs of modern dating, a budding career in the corporate world, and the careful balance required to maintain a successful online presence. He initially believes he has found Gwen’s ideal replacement in the fun and seductive Zoe, but something seems off. After finishing this book, I may be in what the reading community calls a “slump” for a while. The story is both relatable and delightfully quirky, and I found its subtitular label of “new adult comedy” succinctly accurate. The characters — even the less likable of the cast — are richly developed, and the writing style is witty and unassuming. I wholeheartedly recommend this modern and comedic work of literature to all readers.

    Jay Jameston wrote a hilariously funny book. This book made me laugh. I really felt for Jake Durham and what he went through. It was sad but hilarious at the same time. He really went through a lot in this story with his ups and downs on the dating apps and being single again. He really had to go through a lot. Glad his band of friends were able to help him get things going in his life again. The character seemed like he had to go through alot in this story. The plot was really great, and kept me interested in this story. I really thought this story was a great read. I definitely give this story a 5-star rating.

    Jay Jameston’s *Vincible* is a laugh-out-loud, whirlwind journey through the messy reality of post-college life. The novel follows Jake Durham, who finds himself single, lost, and navigating the unpredictable world of dating apps, social media disasters, and alcohol-fueled nights.

    Jameston’s writing is sharp, witty, and effortlessly relatable. Jake’s misadventures are both cringe-worthy and endearing, making him a protagonist you can’t help but root for. The supporting cast—his loyal friends and an unexpected mentor—add depth and humor, making the story feel like a chaotic yet heartfelt sitcom.

    What sets *Vincible* apart is its ability to balance comedy with genuine moments of self-discovery. Beneath the wild antics, there’s an underlying theme of resilience and finding meaning in life’s unexpected turns—something that resonates deeply.

    If you enjoy fast-paced, character-driven stories with humor and heart, *Vincible* is a must-read. Perfect for fans of new adult fiction, coming-of-age tales, and anyone who has ever felt completely out of their depth in adulthood.

    I really like some good comedy and this book is as chaotic as hilarious as it gets. Poor Jake spirals through one hilarious disaster after another. Even if I cringe at the idea of some of the stuff he goes through, I also laughed out loud. The dating scene really is something. While I think the book is a bit short to really dive into Jake's growth over time properly, I think it was still a fun, fast-paced ride through the highs and lows of single life, packed with a fair share of humor, questionable life choices (we all know which ones), and just enough heart to make you root for him. Perfect for anyone who enjoys a blend of comedy and self-discovery.

    Funnily enough, Invincible is one of Amazon’s most popular shows at the moment. This book poses the dichotomy that we are definitely vincible. People typically call teenage years the formative years, but I found this one to prove to me that maybe my pre-conceived notions were wrong to believe that. There is a lot to cover here, but it’s all done with humor and I found myself laughing constantly.

    If you're looking for a lighthearted laugh, Vincible is the book to pick up — especially if you've been in the dating scene for a while. You'll find the characters Vince dates very relatable!! From the start, you realize this will not be a G or PG rated book, as Vince is found by his girlfriend, Gwen, in less-than-acceptable circumstances. When she breaks up with him, newly single Vince is on a search for the perfect woman. To find her, he has to date a lot of frogs, but we get to share in the comedy of the 21st century dating scene. Will he give up? Is she out there? Is he even over Gwen? You'll laugh and relate to this comedy of occasionally drunken errors.
