Where was this funny illustrated guide when I was born? I mean really, I’ve been an INFP since bursting red-faced and wailing out of the womb. Yes, I can turn on the extraversion when needed, but Lordy, at what a cost! But thanks to THE ESCAPE MANUAL FOR INTROVERTS, I now have strategies for protection from Chatty Cathys at weddings, parties, on a plane, when we throw our rare soirées, anyway, anytime. Think I’ll slink off to my silent nest for respite. Whew! 5/5

Thanks to the author, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are mine.

I couldn’t get it to download so I have no idea what it was like. It looked cool but again I couldn’t get it to download. Yep. Not downloaded.

Fun, easy to read, and helpful. Presents different situations that introverts fear and excuses--ranging from plausible to silly--to get out of them. Some of the suggestions are genuinely good and useful to remember. Others are silly and good for a laugh. While this isn't as helpful as I'd like, it is comforting to read and know that one is not alone in dreading overly-social situations.

More tips on how to prepare for these situations and more useful excuses would have made this a knock-out.
