Making Nice

₱341.55
Making Nice - Thryft
Making Nice - Thryft

Brutally honest dark humor meets heartfelt grief.

Alby's story in "Making Nice" could resonate with you if you appreciate a protagonist with a rough exterior and a complex, broken interior. It's the gritty and raw narrative, sprinkled with savage humor, that makes this book more than just a journey through dysfunctional antics. You'll find that its goofy, unrefined humanity offers a cathartic exploration of dealing with loss in an imperfect world.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Meet Alby.

Natural habitat: a bar; a boat; his bedroom; a broad's bedroom.

Favourite hobbies: starting fights (then losing them); hooking up with broads (then losing them); hating cats (it's a skill); training Gary the baby bird to be a killer (sort of).

Best kept secret: when his mum died it broke his hear and he doesn't really know what to do about it.
