Product Description

We’ve all been there.

You encounter the mother of your recent ex. That guy your best friend dated sophomore year. That friend-of-a-friend who you’ve met once but keeps popping up in your “People You May Know” feed.

Do you shake hands? Do you hug? Do you, horrors, kiss on the cheek? And then the inevitable: The awkward hug. That cultural blight we’ve all experienced.

Emily Flake, keen observer of human behaviour and life’s less-than-triumphant moments, codifies the most common awkward hugs that have plagued us all. Filled with laugh-out-loud anecdotes and illustrations, astute observations, and wise advice.

That Was Awkward is a heart-warming reminder that we’re all in this together, grasping hastily at each other in an attempt to say: let’s embrace to remind ourselves of our essential and connecting humanity, but also, please don’t touch me for more than three seconds.
