Awkward: The Science of Why We're Socially Awkward and Why That's Awesome by Ty Tashiro
2.0
*I won this in a GoodReads Giveaway*
2.5 stars.
While mostly well written, this book wasn't a hit for me. The first section could've been trimmed in half. It felt like the author repeated the same exact thing over and over and over. Awkward people have a narrow focus. Got it. No need to repeat in several different ways, several different times. I also thought the book ended in a rather odd way - almost abrupt?
I did think the section section - This is Getting Awkward - was considerably more interesting. It had a few points too about how to nurture an awkward child that I thought had potential and could be useful for parents.
