Nicky James makes no apologies about the heart-breaking love
story of No Regrets, but even though we laughed and cried and cried it is one
of our favourites of 2017.
7 months ago Landon Johnston was diagnosed with terminal
brain cancer. Although struggling with
how to continue, his grandmother convinces him to try and live his life while
he still can. On a bucket list trip to China he meets Abel Matheson. Thinking he can mark another item off his
list, a one-night-stand, he finds himself draw to Able and his free-spirited, adventurous
spirit. After his diagnosis Landon cut himself
off from living and even loving, thinking that it’ll be easier for everyone as
all he had to offer is heartbreak. But
Abel doesn’t give up that easily, but will the secret Landon is keeping push
them away?
Honestly, No Regrets is a hard book to review. Nicky James starts the book with a note to
the reader, that this book is about living life, and it really sets the tone
for the novel. We stopped reading a few
times because if felt like we had already read the last page, cause really we
all know how a book about a about a terminal cancer patient is going to end.
But the love story between Landon and Abel is addictive, and
although terminal cancer is a huge part of the book, it really is about the love
of Able and Landon. Abel reminds Landon
that sometimes the journey is the point, and especially when the destination is
so clear ahead. Yes, we cried, and
cried, because how could you not, and it made us squeeze our loved ones a
little closer. The MC are so engaging, Nicky bring their thoughts and actions
to life. And like them you just want to
grab on and enjoy life, with No Regrets.
This is a sweet story, with heartbreak built in around every
corner. But it is so much more than
that, and we are so glad that we took the time to enjoy , and fall in love with
No Regrets.
