Sorry Not Sorry is a cute and endearing read that any woman can relate to! I devoured this book in one sitting and felt very connected to Charlotte (which is a must have for me). I hope the author continues writing books like this in the future because I will be one of the first people to buy it! I loved this to pieces.

I know, I know, contemporary romance isn't really my thing, but I like to step out of my comfort zone every once in a while and there was just something about this title that made me want to read it. It sounds like the perfect and fun summer or beach read... And I still believe it fits that title perfectly. You see, I think the problem here was mostly me, and not Sorry Not Sorry. There were things I liked about the story, and the humor is definitely more than present. I was able to click with the funny moments, and I like the sharp, quirky and entertaining writing style in general. It sure is a superfast read as well! But I wasn't prepared for the many so-called 'sexy' scenes, which are quite a turn off for me. I also don't like seeing tropes as cheating and a love triangle in a story... (There are others as well, but I can't mention those due to possible spoilers.) This overdose of romance cliches in general was just way too much for me. I also didn't really like at all the bitchiness of some of the characters or the way some of them behaved in general... Also, Charlotte herself could get quite annoying at points. I do believe that contemporary romance fans who love a good dose of humor in their stories will have a blast with Sorry Not Sorry though.

As the cover already suggests, Sorry Not Sorry is a fun, quirky and entertaining read and perfect for those hot summer days while sipping on a cocktail (or juice if you don't drink alcohol). The writing style is engaging and the humor was actually one of the things I really liked in Sorry Not Sorry. Then again, I like my humor a bit sarcastic and spicy. There were other things I didn't like in Sorry Not Sorry, but I have the feeling that is mostly my own fault and not the story itself. Fans of the genre will have a great time with this one!

I am sitting on a bus leaving New York and I couldn’t even wait to get in front of my laptop to write a review... this book was THAT. GOOD.
Charlotte feels like a dear friend at this point. The reality of modern dating is so poignant throughout this novel and I know I and my friends can relate to the absolute misery/high that is the current dating scene.
I took this book slowly because it was one of those novels you know you’ll be sorry to see end. Hell, I even slacked on some finals studying to read instead of work on my dissertation... I’m not
sorry that’s for sure ;)
Charlotte is a lovely, modern woman, trying to make her way in the world. I loved that the true journey wasn’t about finding herself through a relationship, but instead, finding herself without one.
I even love all the male characters (f**k boys included because she made them dynamic instead of a super obvious villain)
I also loved how realistically female friendships were portrayed. Beautiful Tansy doesn’t have to be a bitch and friends can see through the dram (angry eyes at you, Bianca) and be the loyal person you needed them to be.
Finally, that last minute twist???? I was screaming. Loved it. Hated it. Needed it.
Overall, I want all of my friends to read this book so they know they aren’t alone in the insanity of dating.

Sorry Not Sorry is the latest release from Sophie Ranald, an author I'd not previously heard of before spying this on Netgalley, the bright blue over with a big Margarita glass on the front drew me straight in.

After living with best friend Maddy and Maddy's fiance Henry for several years, Charlotte finds herself left in a house-share with strangers after Maddy and Henry achieve the ultimate of London-living millennial goals, buying their own house. They're replaced with model-like fashion worker Tansy and Henry's introverted yet opinionated cousin Adam. Not long after her housemates move out Charlotte discovers the 'Sorry Not Sorry' podcast, which encourages her to take on a series of dating related challenges that force her outside of her comfort zone.

This is seemingly set in 2017, there are references to tinder, bumble, snapchat and Prince Harry's engagement abound, but my favourite has to be Charlotte's musings about Malteaser buttons, girl read my mind, waste of space or best chocolate ever, I'm really not sure.

This was exactly the kind of book I needed, getting on a train after a long day at a London conference, relatable, funny and just the right amount of fluffy romantic comedy. The characters are great and I loved that this not only focused on Charlotte's romantic relationships but her friendships as well. This is also one of the first books I've read where podcasts have featured so heavily, I adore podcasts and listen to them all the time so it was nice to see them given some airtime. Overall, a great read that I'd recommend to any romantic comedy fan, 4 stars.

Excellent book! Loved the characters and it was a great storyline. I would highly recommend this book.

Sorry Not Sorry is every good girl turned bad life mantra. And that's definitely the case here in Ranald's humorous and sweet novel about stepping out of the box and letting your hair down. Readers are swept up along Charlotte's journey to finding herself and true love. The story begins with a hopeful heroine being thrown into the typical trenches of adulthood - flatmates are moving out, bridal showers, and the agony of work. She finds a motivating podcast that makes her take risks that allows her to explore her sexuality, femininity, and friendships. Charlotte's relationships - romantic or otherwise, are a bumpy road that will make readers sigh in frustration but in the end it's all worth it.

This was a fun, romantic AND pro-woman's book. The main character, Charlotte, begins listening to a podcast for Bad Girls and decides to participate in the proposed challenges, which completely change her life. Along the way, she finds love, romance and heartache, and she makes new friends, new enemies, and other relationships change, for better or worse.

I enjoyed this book, even if bits were obvious and some things were tied up a bit too neatly. Would be interested in reading more from this author.

Thank you to Bookouture, Sophie Ranald, and Netgalley for the pre-pub access to this book!

I really loved this book! Honestly, it did take me a few chapters to get into it but once I did it was drew me in and didn't let me go. I loved all the various conflicts and triumphs that the heroine goes through and the through line of the podcast was a great tool to use throughout to set up the different chapters. Overall loved it!

This was a lovely, fluffy read. The protagonist was well thought out & very likeable, and I enjoyed how all the pieces came together by the end. A nice light read for a busy time of year.

This is Charlotte book, Charlotte is tired of her boring goody two shoes life and wants to spice things up! She stumbled across an old podcast called sorry not sorry that challenges women to embrace their inner bad girl! She goes on a bunch of different dates the guy she thinks she's going to end up with has a pretty big secret of his own! I'm but for some reason this book just didn't hold my attention?! I found every few chapters my mind just wandered? I really think some people will enjoy reading this book it just wasn't for me?! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

I was so excited about this book. British chick lit is a fave genre! But somehow this book didn't land for me. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't love it.

This book is fun, quirky, easy to read and also easy to relate to.
A very enjoyable read and I can’t wait to read more from this author

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this book. I was pleasantly surprised by how this book was written. The title caught my attention immediately. The story was interesting enough that made me want to figure out how this would end, and I was wrong every time I guessed. The ending was perfect and sort of what I predicted after the first few tries. I would have like a bit more resolution on other story lines, maybe a sequel is in the works. I'm a fan Tansy and would like to see where she goes next. As well as our protagonist, Charlotte!!

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a quirky, cute romantic comedy. Charlotte is determined to bring adventure and love to her life and gets the motivation through a podcast she hears. She learns to take bold risks as she explores her likes and dislikes. The writing is good and engaging as well. All around good novel.

This was a fun read. If you like Bridget Jones' Diary, then this is a great read. Sophie Ranalds' heroine, Charlotte, is lovable and , at times, hapless. Although she can make maddening decisions, I connected with her as a determined spirit. She makes mistakes and learns from them. The ending is a twist, and although I guessed at the possibility of it, the writing made the book engaging the whole way through.

Loved this story. Such amazing characters all going through live changing events. While some friends are terrible others step up when it’s least expected, just like real life. This is great for fans of the movie The Wedding Date and other self discovery, empowering, romances.

Sorry Not Sorry is a wonderful romantic comedy that really stands out among its competition. This book is smart, funny, and does offer the occasional surprise along the way. I do think that the book oversells the 'bad girl' concept a bit. While Charlotte does have fun dating, working through friendships, and figuring out her career, she never really embraces the 'bad girl' lifestyle that she claims (so if you are looking for a book full of raunchy escapades, this isn't the right novel for you). But if you are looking for a light read with great character development and wonderful writing, Sorry Not Sorry is the perfect choice!

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Well what can I say!!

From the moment I started the book I was captured by the characters and their lives. Coming from a finance background I loved the Hedge Fund setting. The book covers so many topics:

Relationships, friendship, loneliness, jealousy, families etc.

Just when you think you know what is coming next Sophie manages to surprise you with an unexpected twist.

I can’t wait to see what will happen to the characters in a future book. I haven’t enjoyed a book so much in a very long time.

Thank you Sophie.

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!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for letting me read this book.
Sorry Not Sorry is a romantic comedy with quite a lot happening in it. One part of the story-line reminds me a bit of the movie, Bridesmaids, and the rest concerns Charlotte's love life, job, and housemates (particularly a missing cat named Freezer). Poor Charlotte is just trying to get on with life and seems to attract drama without trying. The characters she encounters are different in personality which makes it easier to keep track of because there are a few, and I find the author did a good job here with the dialogue and introspection. All issues with Charlotte become solved by the end, and there are a few twists and turns along the way. Overall it was well written so I give it 3.5 stars. It probably would've been more if the wrong guy had less page time.
