The Regrets by Amy Bonnaffons
2.0
What a unique story, and SUCH a great cover.
I listened to the audio version of this book, which I think was very well done. I was completely captivated by the first section, told from Thomas’s point of view. It explores how he becomes stuck in a limbo state between life and death and I found it original and captivating.
Once the story switched to Rachel’s point of view, it started to lose me. By the time another character was added to the mix (about halfway through), I wasn’t interested anymore. The book is by no means bad—it is a very unique contemplation on love and grief.
But for me, it went off in a direction in which I was hesitant to follow. Because of my expectations about the setup with Thomas, I wanted to know more about the ghost/limbo state and what it meant. Were there lots of other limbo ghosts? But the story is definitely more interested in the romance and relationship angle.
My thanks to Little, Brown for my copy of this one to read and review. I also received this audiobook through Libro.fm’s affiliate program.
