monk888 's review for:

Awkward: The Science of Why We're Socially Awkward and Why That's Awesome by Ty Tashiro
4.0
The psychology of awkwardness is a surprisingly broad topic that would probably take more than one book to cover fully. This one gamely covers as much breadth as can fit, tying together new pieces of psychology literature like a theory of friendship, spotlighting attention, and gifted children combined with several poignant and illuminating personal stories.
