Cleo McDougal Regrets Nothing, and I certainly don't regret reading this book. You get the thrill of the political atmosphere of DC with a dash of romcom and drama.

The irony of the title isn't lost on me - Cleo keeps a list of regrets. 233 of them to be exact. And that really hits home for me, as a reader with generalized anxiety disorder. I often fixate on my past, especially choices that I regret, so I identified heavily with Cleo. Cleo is a flawed character, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story.

Was this book perfect? No. But it focused on Cleo and her journey towards the future, always forward, and I can respect a book with such commitment to seeing a character through.
