About this audiobook
Sometimes, the best intentions pave the way to hilariously awkward situations. Discover the comedic pitfalls of attempting to be entirely too nice in a world built on unspoken social rules. A brilliant exploration of human nature, this tale unravels the delicate balance between genuine generosity and self-serving altruism. Prepare to laugh at the ridiculous lengths people will go to in order to maintain a facade of perfect charity. It is a witty, timeless reminder that good deeds rarely go unpunished.
