NOTE: Not Awkward and the other Wallflowers series novels are standalone books set in the same universe. While there are some character crossovers between the books, you do not have to read them in order.

Just weeks before his wedding to Charlotte, Scott has his fair share of problems. He's not only been passed over for a long-awaited promotion to a newer, less experienced coworker, he loses his job entirely. Also, his own sister, Quinn, disapproves of his impending nuptials to her best friend.

To make matters worse, Scott is devastated when he finds out that Jerry, his ex-girlfriend Leila's dad, passed away. Even when Leila broke up with him out of the blue nearly six years ago, he still liked Jerry. And now Scott wants to pay his respects.

Scott plans to show up to the funeral, say his condolences, and leave. Charlotte is off to her bachelorette getaway with Quinn anyway. She'll never know he's gone.

But fate had something else in mind.

What was initially a short and sweet visit turns into a days-long, very awkward stay at Leila's house, sitting shiva with her and the rest of her family. As if that's not awkward enough, Leila keeps throwing fits while everyone else seems to be under the impression that it was Scott who broke up with Leila.

Amid the chaos and confusion, more and more people show up, giving rise to a few more incredibly uncomfortable situations.

• Will Scott be able to get out of this scot-free? (Pun fully intended)
• Will he finally uncover the real reason why Leila broke up with him?
• Will there be a rekindling of an old flame after all?
