Regrets Only....
I have a regret to share, I regret not reading this book sooner!
Regrets Only has plagued social media for the past month. Multiple times I had told myself "this is your next book" but you know, life can sometimes get in the way. Well, I finally made some "me time" and got to sit down with this award winning novel.
When it came to Regrets Only, I had wanted to challenge myself and go in blind. I didn't want to read the synopsis or the reviews, I wanted to go in completely blank and feel each twist, turn, and emotion without warning. Boy, was I in for a treat.
I had read Wish You Were Gone, also by Kieran Scott this summer, so I knew that I would enjoy the writing style and with having seen it literally ALL OVER BOOKSTAGRAM, I knew I was going to love this book.
Love?
How about Obsessed.
As you have all seen with my prior posts, I am a sucker for some good ole "mama drama" . Desperate Housewives? Check. Catty women who have nothing better to do than torture one another? Check.
This book oozed secrets and deceit. I was completely consumed early on and there was no way I was going to put this one down. I mean, lets be serious, it took me way too long to pick it up!
I was in, completely consumed and adrift from reality.
This was a fast paced, drama packed thriller that will keep you on the edge of your toes. I enjoyed the multiple points of view and the realism of the characters. The exposure of secrets was done with perfection and like I had previously stated, my only regret is not having picked this one up sooner.
Learn from my mistakes, buy the book.
I will leave you with this.... not everything is what it seems.
Teaser :
Paige Lancaster, single mom and prodigal daughter, has returned to the East Coast from her prestigious, well-paid job in Los Angeles, writing for the smartest detective series on television. Something terrible happened to her back in Hollywood. Okay, two terrible things, one featuring a misplaced tire iron—and now she’s broke, homeless, and living with her widowed mother and eight-year-old daughter, Izzy, in her Connecticut hometown.
Paige needs to buckle down and find a new writing gig but first, she meets the movers and shakers of Izzy’s school’s Parent Booster Association, run by the intimidatingly gorgeous Ainsley Anderson, who just happens to be married to Paige’s old high school flame, John.
Then she shows up at the annual Parents and Pinot fundraiser, held at Ainsley and John’s dazzling mansion in the toniest part of town, where she’s caught in a compromising position with John, accidentally destroys the guest bathroom, overhears an incriminating conversation, and discovers that her purse has gone missing. And later that night, Ainsley turns up dead at the bottom of her own driveway.
Did she fall? Or was she pushed?
Paige may have only written about detectives, but she is convinced she can handle a little undercover sleuthing. After all, it’ll give her an excuse to spend more time with John. Still, she can’t help but wonder: could he be capable of murder? Or could one of the PBA members have planned a dastardly crime to reach the top? But the most important question of all: will Paige ever get her life back on track?
