No One Is Safe from Awkward!
Ending a first date that falls flat. Drunk-texting your boss. Walking in when your roommate is getting it on. Running into the person you just dumped . . . in the grocery store, an hour after it went down.
Awkward bombs can drop anytime, anywhere, and with anyone--people you don't know, people you see occasionally, and people you see every day. They can sneak up on you and explode in the most unexpected of places, so they're basically impossible to avoid.
The vast majority of us don't have the wherewithal to gracefully handle the truly and totally awkward as it unfolds. We only realize what we should have said after the fact--when the damage has already been done and we're a hot mess of embarrassment, red ears, and nervous sweat stains. But author Sam Scholfield has survived more than two decades of embarrassing encounters--and now, in an act of extreme generosity, has set down a wealth of witty comebacks, surefire distraction techniques, and suave evasion strategies so that future generations may take heed and dodge the Awkward Monster before it strikes!
So how do you avoid the epic cluster of drama that can result when awkward situations are handled badly? You read this book.
