So I knew this was going to be a steamy read going in to it and this does not bother me, what does frustrate me somewhat is a lack of storyline or one that feels disjointed and unfortunately this one didn't work for me.
The book follows 3 women through a period of their life, their encounters and relationships. Each character is giving a separate chapter and we basically follow their sexual exploits. Each character is at a different stage of a relationship and this made for an interesting contrast between them, although I felt like if the author had just stuck with one character I would have felt more invested in the outcome.
The second half of the book was slightly better than the first and I enjoyed Dixie's story the most.
This was an ok read and if you have time sitting around the pool on holiday then it would be worth picking this one up.

Oh boy! This has got to be one of my favourite books. It is fun and exciting and has a bunch of fantastic characters that you will just grow to love. Honestly I need a follow up from this I would love to hear more from these characters. Their stories are so relatable to many and you can’t help but love them all. Such an easy to read. I adored this!

I was so intrigued by the description of this book and what it was compared to. I enjoyed it but it didn't quite live up to some of it's supposed predecessors.

Thanks to netgalley and the publishers for this read.
The story follows Stella, Ana & Dixie. They seem unlikely friends who as they have got older have gone down very different routes. Somehow their shared history still bonds them.
No spoilers but this is an easy summer read.

Thank you to @hqstories for letting me be a part of the blog tour for this title. This book is a great example of a close friendship between these ladies at different points of their lives. Friendships really can get you through even the biggest of problems! This book is a little bit naughty too..think Samantha Jones from Sex & The City! It’s a great summer read for a bit of escapism. Congratulations to Tabitha Webb on her debut novel.

A light hearted, rather raunchy read that would be a perfect holiday book. It follow three best friends Stella, Ana and Dixie, who are all in some way or another searching for something a bit more in their lives! It is an easy read, and somewhat predictable in places but overall an enjoyable read.

If you’re looking for a few hours of escapism and something easy and fun to read, look no further. No regrets would be the book to pick up while you’re dipping your toes in the pool with a cocktail in hand 🍹

Every now and again I like to pick up a light-hearted girly read, the characters were entertaining, but I would have liked a bit more focus on the them and a bit less on sex (there was a lot, verging on TMI)🙈
I did find the storylines a bit far fetched but that’s part of the escapism of this book. An enjoyable read with plenty of laughs and sex and the city vibes along the way!

In this book we follow Stella, Ana and Dixie. They’ve been friends since childhood and are now approaching their 40s. We follow this close knit group, who are more family than friends, as they look at their lives and deal with some big events.

The events the women deal with are big, life changing events, however, there is still the undercurrent of brutal honesty and humour between the ladies which keeps it lighter hearted or easier to read.

I received an eARC copy of this book from the publishers via Netgalley. These opinions are my own.

An easy-reading, triple romance with some raunchy sex scenes. Best friends Stella, Ana and Dixie are all at different point in their lives. Stella is married with children and hitting an existential crisis. Ana wants to settle down at all costs, even if her partner isn't the love of her life. Dixie is wild and single but might find herself conforming despite herself. All of their lives are on a precipice of change and they are there for each other regardless.

Its a lovely story of the power of strong friendships, and the search for true love. Whether they know it or not, all three are searching for the love of their life....making this a love story x 3, Between them they cover lots of topical issues - IVF, sexual experimentation, marital boundaries. The book manages to cover all these topics without making them the emphasis of the story, while giving the characters some depth. Highly recommended, and thoroughly entertaining.

No Regrets is a 3.5🌟 rounded up to 4🌟
This was a book that was funny in places and one I enjoyed reading on the whole, I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it either.
It’s about three friends approaching their forties and trying to work out who they are.
Stella is married with two boys and has given up work and feels life isn’t going to change for a ,long time and misses her independence, she’s drifting apart from her husband and life’s not as good as it should be.
Ana is trying to get pregnant with her partner, her life centres around this and she seemed the most likeable character to me.
Dixie is into tinder but meets a mysterious man at the airport and finds herself next to him on the first class flight, is he her Mr Right or is he another liar?
This was a book that travels at a good pace but did seem quite unbelievable at times, for example they all fly off to New York at the drop of a hat which when one of them have kids it’s not that easy.
I would like to thank Netgalley and HQ for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

When I chose this book, I knew I'd come across Tabitha Webb before and discovered that she is the go-to fashion designer loved by Duchess of Cambridge. Knowing this made me think I'd be in for a fluffy and genteel book with love and romance at the centre. The main character would kiss a couple of frogs and find her prince 🤴. Yeah, right! Take away the fluffy and add the filth.

'No Regrets' follows the lives of three best friends in their early 40s and Webb's narrative switches between each of them. Stella is a mother of two sons with her husband, Jake, largely absent after becoming partner in a law firm. She wants to escape the monotony and relative isolation of her domestic life. Dixie is the daring one of the three who is frank and feisty, living the jet-set life until she meets an intriguing scientist on a plane to New York. Finally, Ana, is living her life to a strict schedule to have a baby with partner Rex when a chance encounter with an ex raises questions on the suitability of her comfortable but somewhat stagnant life.

As much as I like a light read from time to time, this was just a bit too clichéd for me. The characters, as much as I wanted to read on to the end and see how it all worked out for them, seemed to be identikit versions of Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte from SATC. They seemed to embody the same characteristics and some of the characters' experiences.

The book was energetically explicit in parts and some descriptions really quite shocking. Not to sound too prudish but certain sections were just a bit cringe-worthy. However, I did like the premise and it would be a fun read poolside with a daiquiri in hand as opposed to my current location!

This is a fun book that would be a great holiday read.

3 friends who are all at a crisis point in their lives with careers and relationships.

Stella is a struggling to be the perfect yummy mummy after putting her career on hold. Dixie loves her job but hasn’t found Mr Right – just Mr Right Now. And Ana is happy enough with Rex and wants a baby – but is she settling.

There’s lots of funny moments in this book. I loved Stella’s supermarket trip with a chocolate covered toddler – something I can definitely relate.

You have to suspend your disbelief at moments and just go along with it. It’s a described as a “sexy romp” and there are quite a few sexy scenes – I must admit I do skim read these a bit as they are not my thing.

If you like fast paced, easy reading fun chick lit then you will enjoy No Regrets.

A fun, sassy summer read!

I loved that the narrative for this book is split equally between the three female leads & the dialogue is easy-going giving a realistic rapport between the friends.

Although I felt you had to suspend too much belief to believe in their happy-ever-afters and get that very neatly wrapped ending.

Overall, a great light-hearted read centered around female friendship.

A huge thanks to HQ Stories & NetGalley for sending me a copy in return for an open & honest review.

⭐⭐⭐

I was fortunate to receive a copy of this ARC from NetGalley.

This books focuses on the friendship of Stella, Dixie and Ana now they are all in their 40s. The story covers infidelity, difficulties conceiving, sexuality and what love and friendship really mean.

I could definitely relate at the moment to Stella's position (I am furloughed) - how much does your work define you?

My favourite quote:
"Sometimes she wondered what would happen if she just let him go. Would he return in 16 years?" 😂

The Kindle book is out now and the paperback comes out 23rd July

No Regrets by Tabitha Webb is a light, frisky, escapist read that is great for the summer.
.

Stella, Dixie and Ana are three friends who are all at points in their lives where they are questioning if they are in the right place in their lives. Stella, a Mum of 2 is frustrated and wants to get back to work, but her Husband is keeping secrets. Dixie, the tinder addict who may have stumbled across The One, but is he? Ana, she has the perfect good man, and wants to have the perfect baby with him, or does she?
.
This book is not for the fient hearted, with a fair amount of sex romps thrown in, which I didn't expect, and to be honest, could have done with a little less.
.
It's a read that would be ideal when lazing around a swimming pool with a few cocktails, so not quite my lockdown must read but an enjoyable one.

Thank you to @HQstories for this #gifted copy.

This is a story of friendship and love, to make us remember that no matter how hard are the times we are living, our friends will be there. Maybe they will tell us truths that we don’t want to listen to, or maybe we will feel that they have been rude, but they will make this for us, never forget it.
In these grey days reading something funny and relatable makes the day a little less grey, there’s always time for a good mystery, but something that makes you change your mood and let you a smile on your face is a book I’ll always recommend.
This is the story of Stella, Ana and Dixie; they have been friends forever and now they will need their help more than ever; marital problems, love affairs and pregnancy. This is a story any reader will feel related one way or the other, you will get connected with these characters and that’s what makes this story so addictive. After reading this book I simply stared at my wall and remembered how proud I am of my friends, they are there, the good and the bad, no matter the distance we have between us, I know they have me on speed dial. That’s what I liked about this story, the core of it, it’s funny, fresh and with a human touch but is the feeling that left on me after the last page, the warm heart of good memories and a happy face on me.
Really, take a break and read “No Regrets” you’ll not regret it! 😉

'No Regrets' is being described as perfect for fans of 'Bridget Jones' Diary'. I enjoyed reading 'Bridget Jones' Diary' and so I thought that I would give 'No Regrets' a whirl. I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'No Regrets' but more about that in a bit.
I can't honestly say that I warmed to any of the main characters but that's ok as it meant that I didn't favour one over the other. I have to admit that in some way each of the three main ladies irritated me a fair bit and at times I wanted to slap them with a wet fish or shake them by their shoulders. Although I didn't take to the main characters, I didn't dislike them either.
Oh my word, 'No Regrets' wasn't exactly the book that I thought it would be. I mean that in the nicest possible way. I was drawn into this story from the start and I found that I just couldn't put the book down for any length of time. When I started to read 'No Regrets' in no way did I think that I wouldn't be moving from my reading seat for the length of the book. I read it in one big reading binge. I loved the mix of humour and drama within this book. 'No Regrets' was a cracking read which certainly helped to distract me from the pain I was in.
'No Regrets' is well written. The author certainly knows how to grab your attention from the start and then she takes you on one sassy, sexy and fun journey through the lives of the three main ladies. Tabitha's writing style is easy to get used to an easy to get along with. In fact reading 'No Regrets' felt more like a chat between friends than reading an actual book. I hope that makes sense. I really felt as though I was part of the story, which is down to Tabitha's superb storytelling. 'No Regrets' is the perfect escapist read, which is ideal for reading on your holiday or distracting you from all the talk of COVID19.
In short, I thoroughly enjoyed 'No Regrets' and I would definitely recommend this book to other readers. I will be reading more of Tabitha's work in the future. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

I read this for a blog tour.

This is a fun, funny romp of a book about embracing your life and living in the moment, even if you are headed for 40 and feeling stuck in a rut.

Stella, Dixie and Ana have been friends a long time, through all of life's ups and downs and need each other more than ever as Stella tries to return to work after taking time off to raise her sons and finds out her husband has been keeping secrets of his own, Ana wants a baby but is her relationship the right one, and Dixie thinks she's met The One but is he?

So whizzing off for an unforgettable (and not always in the right way) trip to New York opens several cans of worms (do worms really come in cans? If so, why?) and means their bond is tested.

This is a perfect summer read, even if, like me, you're going nowhere near a beach with coronavirus still ravaging the planet. Instead, plonk yourself on the sofa with a good snack (I had some mango and chocolate digestives with this one) and read!

Sorry I can’t give feedback as I found it hard to read and didn’t finish it. I just struggled to stay with it.

Light-hearted and easy read to get into, perfect if you want some escapism. The characters are all ok, it was a nice pleasant read, but not one I would rave about to recommend.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.
