The ultimate funny, beautifully illustrated, sometimes absurd guide to escaping painfully awkward situations. "Katie Vaz's charming and delightful illustrations will resonate with introverts who are trying desperately to find a balance between social time and their need for solitude. . . . I wish I had this book sooner. It would have saved me a lot of angst from awkward social situations!" —Debbie Tung, author of Quiet Girlin a Noisy World Trapped in an airplane seated next to a chatterbox? Are you hosting a dinner party with people who just won't leave?

Katie Vaz has the key to your escape. The Escape Manual for Introverts guides you through different scenarios, organized by how well you know the person—from friends to strangers. Each fully illustrated chapter covers a range of situations, from an invitation to karaoke night to group lunchtime. And she offers a number of escapes for each scenario: bringing odoriferous foods to lunch for a while, having a pet (real or imagined) that "requires" frequent check-ins, and even investing in a jet pack. From the silly to the sincere, Vaz's clever, hilarious escape plans and bizarre excuses speak to the introvert in all of us.

"This book is so cute and fun! Katie Vaz has given us a fun little how-to guide for all those moments when we're trapped in a situation with *gasp* another human, and have to find a way out without socializing. It's a wonderful addition to the introvert cartoon collection." —Book Riot
