bitinglime 's review for:
The Regrets
by Amy Bonnaffons
Just a book about a guy who is dead (but who hasn't crossed over yet due to a bureaucratic mix up) who notices a girl who notices him and they have frequent sex. It's also not even well-written sex. It's more like "They had sex, and it was AMAZING!" Unfortunately, there is also a part where she hops on him when he is unconscious, and many parts where he enters her without her knowing until it happens. This basically reads to me like rape. Oh, but they are also completely in love for no real reason. It really doesn't even say why, just that they are. The girl then finds someone to fuck who isn't dead (so much for love) and basically gets stalked by the ghost before having paranormal acupuncture therapy to release him. Uh, ok. Was hoping for something more philosophical and thought provoking about both love and death. Honestly the world building about how death is a bureaucracy was way more interesting than the rest of the book, but once they start having sex, it's like the bureaucracy story-telling completely disappears. In the beginning, the "regrets" are something the bureaucracy warns the dead guy about incurring if he breaks rules like engaging with living people. But once that story-telling is done, it never explains exactly what that means for him. All in all, characters are bland and the story leads nowhere. Regret reading.
