So would all of those words be good if you were describing a person (adj.)
-Sorry i'm writing a letter about my book-

no, reluctant is unwilling. Maybe it would be good if it was reluctant to give in. A good one in my opinion is surrender, succumb, yield, or even relinquish

I would say submissive, but if you are talking about a book I cant really understand what you mean by a book is "giving in" anyway, good luck finding what you need and I hope that helped.

Hi there.
I would use the word acquiesce.
Dictionary.com defines it as:
"To assent tacitly; submit or comply silently or without protest; agree; consent".
I suggest the following words which have a similar meaning:
Concede, yield, relent.

It may depend on context and exactly the sense that you are trying to communicate--but some possibilities are:
"Throwing in the towel"
"Quitting"
"Submitting"
"Surrender"
"Capitulate"
"Acquiesce"
"Yield"

Relenting is the word you are looking for.

Surrendering, yeild, abandon, conceeding, give way.
Though I'm not advocating thesaurus rape.

A good synonym would be "capitulating."
