How to Be Awkward

By: Amanda Turner

Narrated by: Amanda Turner

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… a worthy addition to Turner’s impressive, award-winning repertory.” -Kirkus Reviews

“Turner’s genius lies in her anecdotal storytelling cloaked in universally relatable fears and public displays of embarrassment… Great for fans of Mindy Kaling’s Why Not Me?, Laurie Notaro’s The Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club.” -BookLife Reviews

Hilarious

Loved this. Always a plus to have a book that makes you laugh in todays world.

Hilarious and relatable.

Amanda Turner will make you feel so much better about all of your own awkward flubs. The fact that she reads it herself makes it 100x funnier. You’ll laugh out loud.

Honest, witty, and hilarious

Amanda tells it like it is, sharing truly funny life experiences in a mildly self-depreciating yet endearing way. I especially enjoyed the parts about surviving, no, thriving during the pandemic. May we all be so delightfully awkward.
