I so enjoyed every single apology - even the one that didn't go very well.Mara, a "mean girl" to outdo all mean girls, gets a taste of her own bad medicine. In one fell swoop, she loses her fiancé, her job, and her career. Tail tucked firmly between her legs, she goes home to discover her parents have undergone an amazing change. She quickly learns the change was brought about by a new-found faith. Before long, Mara finds her own faith and feels called by the Lord to contact each of the men she treated so horribly in college. She feels compelled to make a face-to-face apology.Each apology carried its own charm. Some carried more pain than others. Some were pretty funny. As mentioned above, one didn't go well. But fear not, for those of you, like me, who love a good HEA, there's, ummm, actually more than one here.The theme of forgiveness, and the importance of ASKING for forgiveness (whether it's given or not) runs throughout the book. All around a lovely, feel-good read. Don't miss it.
