Description
Book SynopsisDear (almost) everyone: Can we be friends again? Life is about to get complicated for Amelia Montgomery, a prominent litigator in Chicago. She’s been fired for not compromising her principles in a high-profile case and then punching her partner in the nose for the misogynistic comment he made in retort (not her finest moment). Leaving a career that gave her purpose, Amelia can only ask, What next? Let it be better than her epic failure of a fortieth birthday party: an open bar full of no-shows except for John Ellis, a total stranger and the new associate at her ex-firm. As it turns out, though, he’s very good company—and a wake-up call. With the help of John and a lot of champagne, Amelia considers the people she’s wronged, from old besties to former boyfriends to coworkers. Amelia resolves to make amends—to those who really deserve it. One apology at a time, Amelia’s looking at the choices she’s made in the past, the new ones she’s making with John, and those she’s making for herself. What next? Maybe a second chance she never expected.
Trade Review“Jeanette Escudero wraps up The Apology Project with one perfectly poignant and witty bow. This novel shines with sparkling humor, saucy banter, and honest self-reflection, amidst realistic discussions about identity, feminism, and #metoo. Sorry to say, but you’re going to ignore everything else once you dive into these pages.” —Tif Marcelo, USA Today bestselling author of In a Book Club Far Away “Jeanette Escudero’s The Apology Project took me on a satisfying journey that compelled me to the finish line. It strikes a beautiful balance between humor and vulnerability, proving messy, soft-hearted women still deserve their happily ever afters.” —Camille Baker, author of Have We Met?
