Vaz is an introvert, so she understands the struggle of maintaining relationships while minimizing social activity. In this humorous manual, Vaz gives both realistic and absurd suggestions for escaping unwanted situations where social interaction is necessary. Apply at your own risk.
This book was funny both because of the increasing ridiculousness of Vaz’s suggestions and because I recognized strategies that I have applied in my life. The struggle for introverts is real, and I think this book can elicit laughter from most readers, whether introvert or extrovert. What you see is what you get with this one: a quick read for a little laugh.
