Charlotte is a good girl. But that hasn't really gotten her where she wants in life. Her job is incredibly hard (though it did help her get out of a dead-end relationship), her best friend is moving to the suburbs AND getting married, and she's depressingly single.
One night, she gets quite down and semi-drunk and starts listening to a podcast about how to break out of her rut. There are some quite lovely suggestions that she sometimes follows, sometimes not. On the way, she meets a romantic-interest-architect, makes a new friend, resettles her relationship with old friends, and figures out what is going to be her number one priority in life.
This book was a little rough in parts - like the story didn't really flow. But it was a nice story overall and I would try this author again.

Sorry Not Sorry took a minute for me to get into. It starts fairly quickly into the plot of a hard working, single woman, who struggles making time to date as her friends enter their next stage of life. After about 50 pages the book was quick and addicting.
I found it hard to like the characters at first, but throughout the novel some became likeable (though there were definitely some purposeful ‘villains’).
Overall I really enjoyed the book! Some of the plots and subplots felt rushed, and I wish we could have had more time with the owners of the coffee shop and Adam, but it was fun and quick!

This book was slow, boring and had a lackluster, complicated finish.
A fun, easy read that left me smiling! This was Bridget Jones-esque in that a likable woman kept finding herself in uncomfortable positions. This was wildly entertaining and a pleasure to read! It got a bit long winded in some areas but overall, I enjoyed this book and the witty writing had me laughing out loud. I enjoyed the ending tremendously and was rooting for the character throughout. A delightful summer read! My thanks to the publisher for the advance reader in exchange for my honest review.
I was lucky enough to be given an advanced copy of 'Sorry Not Sorry' through Netgalley, and I really wasn't disappointed!
When life gives you limes, make margaritas!
This book was the perfect pick me up. It was packed full of laughs, bad decisions, strong friendships and absolutely brilliant tips for building yourself up.
Charlotte is a good girl, she's a young woman who's living in London and has been flat sharing with her best friend - and her boyfriend! However, they're now engaged and moving out to live in their own house in the suburbs and have a wedding to plan! So now she is abandoned, single and about to be thrust into living with two strangers. Ghost like Adam - who never seems to be around but you can smell/hear his presence and larger than life Tansy, an absolute goddess who quickly becomes Charlotte's new friend. She decides that enough is enough and starts to take action and googles 'How to find love', this leads her into a discovery of an old podcast that ignites her inner 'Bad girl' with confidence boosting steps for both her own life and her love life!
It's not long before Charlotte meets an absolute God in the form of Myles - however, another problem rears its ugly head and leaves Charlotte with a ton of decisions to make. Especially, as Maddy has asked her sister-in-law to be chief bridesmaid instead of Charlotte, which causes cracks in their solid friendship and her new housemate Tansy has problems from her past which Charlotte is roped into helping with!
This book was fast paced - which is perfect for its London setting as it had quite a lot of elements juggling at once. I devoured it in a few hours because it was impossible to put down. I loved that while there were tons of different stories going on - they all ran together nicely and no loose end was left untied. Including her next door neighbours cat 'Freezer' going missing!
Be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions with this book. The Characters are built up beautifully, the friendships are strong (mostly) and the life tips were absolutely worth jotting down! (Even If you're not single! Get that confidence right up!)
Overall: **** 4 Stars - A delightful easy read, had me laughing all the way through. 'Sorry Not Sorry' is perfect for all women who need a confidence boost - or even just a good old giggle!

This book was a pretty relatable story for anyone living through their 20s. Love, friendship and broken bonds are all experienced throughout. It was a quick read and a nice filler book between some heavier reads for me.

Sorry Not Sorry is a fun and refreshing contemporary that will leave you wanting to read more. I did find that there was some funny parts, however the book was not peppered with a lot of humorous parts. I enjoyed the character development of Charlotte and how everything effects her.
This was a fast and light read for me and definitely a palate cleanser since I recently read a ton of thriller books, so this was much needed.
