From the New York Times bestselling author of This Little Piggy Went to the Liquor Store and Hair of the Corn Dog, Amanda Turner (previously writing as AK Turner) offers up a new collection of hilarity and embarrassment with How to Be Awkward.Disclaimer: This book is not intended for the super cool. If you begin every day by setting an intention while doing yoga on a paddleboard (and somehow not falling off), you're out of my league. If you are even semi-fluent in the Urban Dictionary, there's little chance we'll connect. And if you use a vaginal steamer, well, I think we're done here. Especially if you don't have a vagina.On the other hand? if your spirit animal is the blobfish or you regularly and inexplicably choke on your own saliva, we might be related. If you find intermittent fasting to be both cruel and unusual, I feel your pain. If your athletic abilities could best be described as blundering and oafish, I'm right there with you. It's possible that we speak the same language.We should talk.Endlessly hilarious...constantly relatable. An incisive and entertaining celebration of awkwardness. -Kirkus ReviewsAn entertaining read that makes being awkward cool. -BookLife Reviews
