Way to many "I'm sorry"

Is there anything you would change about this book?
Fewer times the characters say I'm sorry
Would you recommend The History of Us to your friends? Why or why not?
The book is a moderately interesting story with interesting characters. However, about 1/2 way through I started counting the number of times the characters say they are sorry for something. It is a good read if you want some basic distraction that does not require too much thought.
