Things Only People Pleasers Understand

You said "no worries."
There were, in fact, several worries.

You've agreed to a favor before hearing what it was. Added another exclamation mark so your text wouldn't sound angry. And said "whatever works for you" while quietly rearranging your entire day.

Welcome. We saved you a seat. You're allowed to take it.

Things Only People Pleasers Understand is a funny, warmly illustrated collection of the everyday moments that make being "easygoing" surprisingly exhausting. From awkward social encounters to unpaid emotional overtime, Avery Quest captures the tiny dramas of trying to keep everyone happy.

Inside, you'll recognize situations like:

• Saying no once, then preparing seventeen explanations.
• Sprinting across a crosswalk because a driver stopped and now you owe him a personal best.
• Becoming financially responsible for a café because the owner remembered your name.
• Turning a "quick favor" into a position with responsibilities and absolutely no salary.
• Reading a canceled-plan message with a deeply sympathetic expression while internally throwing a parade.
