Sorry Not Sorry: The perfect laugh-out-loud romantic comedy

The summary of this book sounds fun and interesting. I can't wait to start reading this. The only downfall to this purchase was receiving my book sticky. Like something was spilled on the cover.

It starts a bit slow but was an easy read while traveling by car for hours. It helped the time pass.

I thought story line was good, too long and wordy at times, but overall a good read. Just slow going…

I'm 8 chapters (25%) in and there's been no romance and no comedy. Why should I keep reading? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?I know the Brits have a drier sense of humor but I adore British comedy. This isn't it. Plodding on a bit longer but not much.****************So I did finish the book. It's not a romance. Romance has very specific rules and I don't say that to be a nudge. It's just true. This is not a romance so call it what it is so people like me - who know what a romance is - don't waste their money. And there was nothing funny about the story. Even if I'm generous with the one liners, they weren't funny. At best it's women's fiction. I still wouldn't call it a comedy.Charlotte is a mediocre character. She's most of the cliche's wrapped into a sarcastic package. I don't really mind the sarcasm; I do mind the cliches. The style of the narrative is pretty good - it flows easily though the author likes to go off on tangents about whatever noun was in the last paragraph so be prepared for that. I know too much about characters I care nothing about because they weren't a real part of the story.There are so many men it's a bit ludicrous. None of them play a very important role until the end when, like Russian Roulette, one is tagged the "hero." Romance is about the relationship between the two characters and we got very little of that, even if you read back between the lines once you know who is going to be tagged the hero.The ending is decent (again, not a romance) but a fairly straight shot from the start of the book. Several threads were left hanging so I don't know if she plans to pick it up in a sequel. This may be why we got so much back story and side story about characters we didn't see a whole lot.

I don’t think I can finish this book. It’s taking forever to get no where! I keep skipping bc it’s just a bunch of filler detail stuff that does nothing for the story. I’m on chapter 10 and I still don’t know who the romance is supposed to be between. So far she has a job where she gets walked all over but seems to love it, has a best friend who is now moving to next stage of life and marrying leaving her to have to have new roommates, she had a one bad date with sex that sucked so basically swore herself off guys, her best friend is turning into a rush snob and hurting her feelings but she feels guilty instead, and she’s playing hard to get bc a pod cast tells her to. Chapter 10 and I still am not sure if she’s met the guy that is supposed to be her romantic partner or not. The sexting they may or may not be doing is not written into the story. There’s no burn….. I’m going to put it down for a few days and then attempt again….

The tale of “”Good Girl Bad Girl” is best told by the characters. In many ways it’s similar to other novels of the same genre but I’m a sucker for British writers of the genre. I even listened to UK-based bands referred to in the book on YouTube to better get the mood and put in context of the time it was written and found I’d stumbled onto new-to-me music I now enjoy regularly like The Lumineers. Check them out especially for their original lyrics.It’s helpful to download from Kindle the UK - British dictionary to parse out the unique UK slang to accurately describe the text. The dictionary is a great tool and I’m grateful to the developers of Kindle for making it easily accessible.It’s not as entertaining as the rom/com UK author’s work in the genre of Robert Brynzda: the Coco series but GBBG was a wonderful romp. I also really love the work of Spalding (can’t recall his first name...) which is solidly entertaining. So much so I even pre-ordered his next book at a bargain at $3.99.

This was just a very light, fun book. I really like the way this writer writes with enough surprises to keep me interested + she definitely has insights into people & their relationships, both romantic & just regular friends. When the world starts to feel a little too crazy, it was fun to escape to this light book.

Charlotte’s best friend is moving out, and now the house feels empty. And so does her life. She’s in a rut. So, when she finds this series of podcasts named ‘Sorry Not Sorry’, she is determined to get more out of life. What I really liked about Charlotte is that she could be any one of us. She wasn’t this super-thin super-unreal super-woman, but just a relatable person with recognizable problems.It was never TOO bad, which was how I liked it. Just a broadening of her horizon. Spreading her wings. Pushing her boundaries. Flirting. Not saying no to everything. Small steps. And that started out with innocent things like calling a guy after asking his phone number. Later on, it gets a bit less innocent…It says laugh-out-loud and yes, it was filled with humour, but no, I never laughed out loud. But I really enjoyed it. It was entertaining, easy-to-read, with a good flow, and I loved it! And it was surprising! Romantic comedies can be predictable, but this one definitely wasn’t!Heat level 4 quite steamyBTW I loved the little references to Gemma from ‘The Truth About Gemma Grey’.

Great story and nice plot twist at the end!

It was an easy read. Without giving too much away it was about paths Best friends go.

Was expecting some laugh out loads based on previous reviews, but was a little disappointed that I did not have any. Nice book and easy read

Good read

I really enjoyed this book and it was a quick read with an easy following to the story. Although as my title reads I was disappointed in the author for over exaggerating the view on sex workers, it kind of tainted it a little bit for me by the end because it gave a false reality and felt the author had an uneducated view point on the matter. However I would love to see what happens to Tansy in the next book. Do better Sophie! Womens rights and all that?!
