Description
Relationships are great - until they aren't. One minute, you're embraced in feelings of bliss; the next, you're smack in the middle of an argument that seems to have come from nowhere. Sure, a good apology can help patch things up, but what happens when it just doesn't feel right?
Whether you're on the giving or receiving end, The Little Book of Apologies unpacks the delicate art of saying sorry whether it is genuine, awkwardly given, or not at all. From sincere remorse to cleverly disguised non-apologies, it explores what makes a real 'I'm sorry'.
With wit, clarity, and quirky illustrations, The Little Book of Apologies is a curated collection of 'I'm sorry' statements for all sorts of situations. Think of it as a guide to identify what's on offer: a heartfelt apology, a half-hearted one, or something in between. And remember, whether you choose to accept an apology or not is entirely up to you.
