Glossary of Awkward is a Laugh Out Loud guide to surviving the "I have cancer" conversation. The book is a graphic medicine novel that uses original cartoon illustrations to help people have better conversations about cancer. Title includes "Glossary" because it presents and defines newly-coined terms to describe frequent moments that occur when people talk about cancer (almost like an 'Urban Dictionary'). Book pages include a phrase and definition and a relevant cartoon illustration on the other side. The book is divided into chapters that deal with the different emotions people living with cancer experience, and each chapter starts with a short prose introduction. The book can be considered a giftable item.
