“Sorry Not Sorry” by Sophie Ranald is a romantic comedy about Charlotte who, after her roommates move out, feels like her life is stuck in a rut. She decides to listen to a podcast called “Sorry Not Sorry” which challenges its listeners to try new things in the dating scene. Charlotte meets Myles, a vendor at work, and decides that she likes him enough to try the challenges with him. With these challenges Charlotte learns more about herself than she imagined and eventually becomes the woman she wants to be.

This is my first time reading a book by Ranald, and I really liked it. I don’t read a lot of romance novels, but the humor in this one kept me interested. There were some parts that were a little much for example the maid of honor in Charlotte’s best friend’s wedding and the hen do (bachelorette weekend) seemed too similar to the movie “Bridesmaids” in my opinion, but I understand why she went that route in the story. There were some characters I really liked, Xander and Freezer especially, and some that were stereotypical for their roles, Renzo, Piers, and Charlotte’s co-workers in general. Overall this was a fun read that kept me engrossed. I don’t normally read books in two days, but I didn’t want to put this one down. If you like humorous, romance novels I would definitely recommend this one.
