The Regrets
by Amy Bonnaffons
This book was... so strange. Reading the description, I anticipated a funny, otherworldly romance. None of the characters were what I’d call like able people. This book was supposed to be humorous (one summary said “playful”), but all I felt was discomfort the entire time. At times pretentious, the first half of the book was almost entirely ghost sex and more absurdist than funny.The second half of the book wasn’t funny at all; it actually really bummed me out. And not good ghost sex - I lost count at the number of times the word “penetrate” was used. The characters seem so apathetic about all of their relationships- romantic and platonic. For whatever reason, there were three narrators. And at the end, I still had so many questions about what had happened to each of the characters. Some of the writing was nice, but all in all... I did not enjoy this book.
