I didn't hate this book, but at times I didn't really like it either, although I did read it quite quickly and found myself happy enough to read it through to the end.

So, what were the things I did like enough to get through it? It was, for want of a different word, quite "spunky" and it definitely felt a little like a trip back to the 80s bonkbuster only less high content which is a good thing, btw. I loved those books when I was younger but I wouldn't want to read any of them again now. It was also well written which means a lot. I love me some chick-lit but there is some badly written stuff out there as there is for any popular genre. This was very well written and the characters were mostly decent, except they also weren't.

So, the things I didn't like. Despite the characters being decent, I guess I really mean decently written and I found it hard to warm to any of them and within a couple of days of putting it down, I'd forgotten their names. Maybe if I'd had more background on them, especially Dixie who grated on me from the beginning, I'd have warmed to her more, but I didn't.

Next, a huge pet peeve of mine. Numerous simultaneous orgasms. Please, enough with that already. These are not common, they're actually pretty bloody rare and they're also not the be-all and end-all of sex. It's a shame because the sex is mostly well written but the need for dated tropes really annoyed me. Wrt sex and relationships, I found the whole Coco and Stella plot really patronising and a little insulting. The level of "oh my god, am I a lesbian now! Oh no, I can't tell my friends until I'm hideously drunk!" felt like something from a past age. Coco herself was a lovely character but to be honest she was written as a manic pixie dream lesbian type character.

Finally, and this is a huge bugbear of mine. I absolutely hate it in a novel or film of the romance/rom-com/chick-lit variety when a character says "well if this happened in a film/book then there'd be a great big happy ending, but this is real life so ..." and then, hey presto, the great big happy ending happens. If that trope is going to be used then actually turn it on its head and have the happy ending not happen. That would be different.

I'm happy to suspend belief in this sort of novel, so I honestly enjoyed a lot of the slightly/very unrealistic happy ever afters that were there and I think it's possible that a lot of people will really enjoy this, alas it really wasn't for me.

A sincere thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for providing me with an ebook copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. 

This is not my usual genre, I’m more into crime/thriller books and even psychological thrillers too so I  am extremely pleased and grateful to them for opening up my mind to something totally different.

I enjoyed this book. 

I didn’t expect it to be so raunchy!
It has some real laugh out loud moments, whilst covering some serious topics. 

You couldn’t say this book hasn’t got diversity. 

It has plenty of sex in it and it holds no bars. 
We read about the lives of three strong, feisty women heading into their forties. 
They are  in different stages of their lives. 

One wanting a baby and having trouble but time is quickly running out. 

One living a glamorous single life, as a woman that doesn’t get bogged down, by a man and all the trappings of a relationship. Do things change for her?

Lastly, one that finds her husband has been lying to her, but hey, so has she. 

I felt the book had a great ending and I would recommend.

A great read, very promising for the debut author! 
The story of 3 friends and how their lives are struggling in different way is such a relatable read, I’m sure all readers will find something in common with one of the girls. Although some of the story line is easy to guess what’s going to happen it still makes a fun read. 
Gave only 3 stars as the end of the story for Ana disappointed me. What could have been a strong statement about single life and raising a child alone it felt slightly contrived for the ending she did get.

This is chick lit at it's best! Dixie, Ana and Stella have been friends for years. Now they are approaching 40, and life does not seem to get any easier. Stella has 2 young boys, feels her marriage has gone stale, and would really like to go back to work. Ana is trying for a baby with her partner who she loves but is not in love with. Dixie lives a promiscuous, hedonistic lifestyle, and doesn't believe she will ever meet anyone special. I love stories about friends like these - ordinary women with all their dreams and disappointments. This is a cracking read which I thoroughly recommend. Thanks to NetGalley for a preview copy.
Copied to Goodreads.

This was full of promise - the promise of a fabulously funny and naughty tale of friendship. The story is that of three very different friends as they approach the crossroads of their 40s. My favourite was feisty Stella who adores her children but is struggling with the monotony of being a stay-at-home mum. There's also sensible Ana who's chosen her baby-daddy with her head rather than heart and good-time girl Dixie who may have to re-evaluate after unexpectedly falling for someone.

It started well with the introduction of Stella and her vague and uncomfortable feeling that her children might be better off with a nanny as at least they'd be clean and on time. "Maybe someone else could be a better waitress and Uber driver. These were not her skills." Another hilarious musing was Stella thinking about the constant need to keep tabs on her wandering two-year-old "sometimes she wondered what would happen if she let him go. Would he return in 16 years, all grown up, a veteran of several wars...thankful to Stella for her trust in his abilities, or would he be taken in by social services....thank God Jake (her husband) was a lawyer."

But, then nothing much actually happened. Well that's not strictly true - There was a lot of sex, a little humour (mostly involving Stella) and not a lot else. What did happen was predictable even from the blurb in that Stella gets her mojo back, Ana's drawn to her ex and Dixie settles down. The sex was also a bit much for me. It's not that I'm a prude (well maybe a bit) but I don't need graphic details, preferring subtle suggestion instead, and I like the action to be part of the story, not just there for the sake of it.

So, in my opinion this was sex over substance. I didn't hate it but didn't love it either so a 3.5 stars rounded down from me unfortunately.

Well what can I say, bloody brilliant, loved it, the charecters are just fab, 3 ladies, I can totally relate to, a super summer read that went down well with a glass or two of rose, I'd love to read further adventures too, highly recommend to anyone especially at the minute pure escapism, might not be able to read it by the pool, but get yourself in the garden and relax with a wine, you won't be disappointed

This was a quick, fun garden read! Narrated by three life-long friends: Stella, Ana and Dixie are now in their 40s and find themselves at different stages in their lives. Stella is a stressed out mum of two who longs for the part of herself that isn't just a mum. Ana is desperate to be a mum, so is doing everything she can with her current boyfriend to make that happen and Dixie is child-free and loving it! 

We follow them as they come to some life decisions and embark on new - often raunchy - relationships. No Regrets was a great way to escape for a few hours but it was a little predictable in its plot to have me riveted. I did like its overarching theme of believing in yourself and the power of friendship. It was a nice celebration of having no regrets and going for what's going to make you happy in life.

Many Thanks to the author and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book before being published in exchange for an honest review. 	

It kept me entertained all the way until the end. 
3 friends who were best friends once upon a time but then they go different ways. They only meet every other time to tell each other what´s going on in their lifes. 
Their stories brought to me fond stories of when I used to be young and all the crazy things you do when you are young.  And then the  meetings with your friends to tell them all about it!! 
I did enjoy this book, as it was a quick and engaging read. And I didn´t want it to finish because I really was enjoying their stories!
I will definitely be on the lookout for future releases by this author.

The description of this book is fabulous, funny and filthy and I can confirm it is definitely filthy; too filthy for me in parts and I'm not a prude!  I found it a bit too graphic but I am sure as an easy read or a beach read it would hit the spot.  It was very funny and a bit like a raunchy Mills & Boon as 3 friends from school reach their 40s with some regrets about missed opportunities, hopes and dreams and who want more from life.

I really hate being negative with books I’ve been lucky enough to read before publishing date but I gave up on this book,   I didn’t like the characters, and I really didn’t like the “product placements” that occurred often e,g. Stan Smith trainers, Stella McCartney, Pineapple Studios sweatshirt etc.  Was the author being paid to mention these brands?!

Sorry but not for me.

I loved the front cover of this book and was excited to receive it to review. 
It was easy to get into but felt the story stalled half way through. 
Great for an easy beach read and did make me laugh out loud at time’s. 
I will recommend and would read another book by this author .

Loved this classic chick lit story! 

The girls are such great characters who are so real. It demonstrates some classic friendship through difficult patches.

I felt like this book had a lot of promise. One of the things that drew me in was how relatable these women were.

However about half way through it felt like the book lost it's way a bit. It all got a bit wild and not relatable - choppers, millionaires and rockstar boyfriends.

It was a light easy read and considering all that's going on in the world right now just what I needed.

Stella is married to Jake, they have 2 children.
Ana and Rex are trying for a baby, but her heart yearns for an old flame.
Dixie using Tinder meets a mystery man on a plane. 
The story of 3 real friends who can tell each other the truth even if it hurts.
This story is told in a fun and raunchy way, that made me laugh out loud in places. A smooth, feel-good read I would definitely recommend.
Thank you to Netgalley,  HQ and Author Tabitha Webb for my pre-publication copy in exchange for a review.

The book follows three friends Stella, Dixie and Ana all now approaching their forties and at different stages of their lives and all a bit jaded with what life has dealt them.

Stella used to be a highflyer in the fashion world and is now a married mum of two with a husband who’s keeping secrets from her.   Ana is desperately trying to get pregnant with her partner Rex and Dixie who isn’t ready to settle down preferring hook ups via Tinder. 

From the first lines in the book I found myself empathising with Stella, as a mother we’ve all been in that position in the supermarket.  I really thought I would enjoy the book but as the book went on, although there are some bits that are very relatable and funny,  I just couldn’t get into it. 

For a debut book I think it’s written well and if you like a raunchy, funny, beach read this could be for you. 

Thank you to Net Galley and HQ for the ARC

Stella, Ana and Dixie are the best of friends, they have been there for each other through the good and bad days. They now unknowingly find themselves all at a crossroads in their lives.

Stella is married to Jake and they have 2 children. She has gone from having a high flying career to being a house wife, worrying about her not so close relationship with her husband, who has been keeping financial secrets from her.

Ana is trying for a baby with partner Rex but her heart belongs to an old flame.

Dixie a fan of Tinder, meets a mystery man on a plane. Could he be Mr Right?

Loved the friendship of the three women, only real friends can tell each other the truth even if it hurts.

This story is told in a fun and sometimes fruity way, that made me laugh out loud. An easy to read book that I would definitely recommend.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a review.

Firstly a big thank you to hq for ny copy to to review on netgalley. I also got to listen to this author so was very keen to read. She sold it very well in her speech!

Fun,filthy and a real treat.

A real bonkbuster thats realistic too. Steamy ,saucy and sexy.

3 friends,3 very different womem with different lives but they all have needs...

I loved this book and highly recommend if your after a naughty funny escape.

A excellent debut so look forward to seeing what she writes next.

I absolutely loved this little gem of a book.  It instantly grabs you and whilst, yes, it is a chick-lit based on 40- somethings generally having a bit a of breakdown about life, it’s totally and utterly relatable.

I loved all the characters, all the scenes - I laughed at the escapades knowingly and sympathised with almost all the events that occurred.  Unputdownable.  Absolutely would gift it and recommended it to my gal-pals and there’s nothing better than a happy-ending, really - is there?

A self confessed lover of the bonk buster and fan of Jilly Cooper, Tabitha Webb said she was determined to write a book full of filth. Which is what she has managed. It’s full of the normal bests - unfulfilled mothers, yearning for children, marriages crumbling under the weight of real life - along with cliched remedies such as lesbian love affairs, rock star boyfriends, friends forever who will see things through to the end on hedonistic nights out.

The synopsis explains: 'Friends Stella, Ana and Dixie are all at different stages in their lives, but they could all do with a shake-up. The three women are about to find out that life doesn’t stop in your forties – in fact it’s only just begun…Fresh, fearless and hilariously honest, No Regrets is perfect for fans of Dawn O’Porter, Kate Davies and Tracy Bloom.'

Webb is an acclaimed designer and entrepreneur who launched her eponymous luxury fashion brand in 2013.

Due out in the summer, it’s definitely what you’d call a cheap thrill beach read. And when everything else in life is so tough, there’s nothing wrong with that.
