We've all been there. You encounter your former colleague. Your ex-boyfriend's sister. The school classmate whose name you don't quite remember. Do you shake hands? Do you hug? Do you - horrors - kiss on the cheek? And then it happens. The awkward hug. That cultural blight we ve all experienced. Emily Flake - keen observer of human behaviour - 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.
