A fun read &)

[Alison]

I had hoped the book would be a little less tongue-in-cheek and actually offer advice, since I find myself in awkward situations more often than I'd prefer, but it was still an enjoyable, humorous read.

[Alejandro Saint-Barthélemy]

Highly recommended to sarcastical Amerikan smartasses, saving face Asian test-geniuses, and straightforward, candid idiots from Southern Europe like me.

[Mike]

Wish I had waited to check out from a library instead of buying.

[Amanda]

A playful little book that hints at the faux-pas of "Curb Your Enthusiasm"!

[Allanna]

Kinda funny. But I'm really not into lying enough or shifting blame that much to protect my dignity.

[Mike]

Interesting book. Hard to say if the author is correct in what to do in many of these situations. Haven't tried them out.

[Lauren Jansson]

More of a guide on how not to do things. Entertaining and funny though. And for the record, this book was given to my husband and we read through it for the laugh;)

[Molly]

Silly, tongue in cheek. So many awkward moments in life!

[Susanna]

A funny little book that will bring a smile to your face.

[Chy]

It's basically a guide to slacking.
