Ouch! That’s Awkward! Teaser Tuesday #2
After I finish reading my current book, I’ll be picking up Our Socially Awkward Marriage by Tom and Linda Peters. Raw and personal, this book of essays was first inspired by Tom’s challenges with Asperger’s Syndrome, but the humorous bite-sized stories apply to any kind of interpersonal communication.
I’ll be reading this book containing funny and heartfelt true stories from inside an Asperger’s relationship as part of my Humor Reading Challenge.
Tom came to the bed fretting. “What’s wrong?” I said.
“The tile pattern in the bathroom floor.” he said. “I cant figure out where they started it.”
If you fancy joining in, here’s how…
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!
- Share the title and author so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

Sounds like a great book and your sentences were good at showing what Asperger’s is like with their obsessive compulsion about things. I like books like that about people with conditions like Asperger’s. So interesting to learn about. I remember reading a great book written from the point of view of a guy with Autism. It was well done and I learned a lot about the condition.

Yes, I am curious about this book. I dont know much about this condition, so I am looking forward to the insights. And that it is a true account and that too in a fun way, I just cant wait to read it. Thanks for dropping by Cathy and I loved your teaser from Jojo Myes book too!
