BOOK REVIEW: Sorry Not Sorry by Sophie Ranald @SophieRanald @bookouture @LAWsometweets #sorrynotsorry #blogtour

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere…

Ooh boy! Sophie Ranald’s Sorry Not Sorry is such a fun book! I just finished reading this steamy, sweet, roller coaster of a rom com romp and I’m just so happy! This is the type of book that is pure pleasure when reading it for me. It fired on all cylinders—friendship, love, heart break, mystery, career, cats, and margaritas. This rom com was just what I needed this Valentine’s Day!

About the Book

A fabulously feel-good novel that will make you laugh till you cry and leave you living life to the full, margarita in hand! 

Is this all there is? I scraped the last dregs of Caramel Chew Chew ice cream out of the bottom of the tub with my finger and licked it. It left a sticky smear on my phone’s screen when I typed into Google, “How to find love, sex and happiness.”

Charlotte has always been a good girl. But being good is getting boring…

She’s not just stuck in a rut – she’s buried in it up to her chin. The only company she has in bed is the back catalogue of Netflix and falling in love feels like the stuff of fairy tales. So when she stumbles across a popular podcast, ‘Sorry Not Sorry’, which challenges women to embrace their inner bad girl, she jumps at the chance to shake things up.

Old Charlotte would never ask for a stranger’s number, go on a blind date or buy lacy lingerie… But New Charlotte is waving goodbye to her comfort zone (with a side order of margaritas). And it turns out that good things happen to bad girls…

If you’re a fan of romantic comedies by Sophie Kinsella, Lindsey Kelk or Matt Dunn, and love TV shows like Girls, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Jane the Virgin, you won’t be able to put down this hilarious read!

Reflection

When good girl Charlotte finds herself living with two new roommates instead of her best friend Maddy, she realizes her life may not be as full as she previously thought. Enter an old podcast she discovered, Sorry Not Sorry, teaching good single girls to live life a little bit bad, and reap the rewards…

Charlotte is such a fun character! I related to her a bit because she’s a bit of a pushover at times, but I think it is because of her big heart. She wants things to be ok, and so maybe at times she hides the truth from herself. But she is also fiercely loyal, hard-working, and filled with love and laughs to share with the world. All she wants in return is love and maybe a few margaritas!

I loved the way this book really encompassed Charlotte’s whole life. It wasn’t just one thing. It covered her dating escapades, new friendships that are still blossoming, old friendships that aren’t what they used to be, getting along with her neighbors, work drama, and finding her way in the world through it all. The multiple stories going on in Charlotte’s life made the plot move incredibly fast. I didn’t find a dull moment in the book!

I loved the idea of learning to be a “bad” girl. As the podcast suggests, maybe being a bad girl just means letting yourself live a little. A girl doesn’t have to do bad things to be a bad girl, she just has to let herself get out of her comfort zone. I found this inspiring—something I should learn to do more of!

With a book that will make you laugh, cry, smile, and cheer along Charlotte—I’m already wanting more from Sophie Ranald!!! Do not miss this one—it is the perfect read for any girl out there, no matter how bad or good!

About the Author

Sophie Ranald is the youngest of five sisters. She was born in Zimbabwe and lived in South Africa until an acute case of itchy feet brought her to London in her mid-20s. As an editor for a customer publishing agency, Sophie developed her fiction-writing skills describing holidays to places she’d never visited. In 2011, she decided to disregard all the good advice given to aspiring novelists and attempt to write full-time. After one false start, It Would Be Wrong to Steal My Sister’s Boyfriend (Wouldn’t It?) seemed to write itself. Her second, third and fourth novels followed, and The Truth About Gemma Grey was released in summer 2017. Sophie also writes for magazines and online about food, fashion, finance and running. She lives in south-east London with her amazing partner Hopi and Purrs, their adorable little cat.
