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!

Sorry Not Sorry is a fun, empowering read about Charlotte, who we meet when she is feeling lost and stuck in a rut.

I was Charlotte's own personal cheerleader the whole way through, cheering her on through her dares from the podcast Sorry Not Sorry, navigating through new friendships & friendship changes, wanting to slap the shit out of Bianca for her.

My only wish is that more pages were given to Mr. Right :)

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.
