My Review
'REGRETS'
Is a full romance novel by new to me author Nicole Dykes. Spoken in Dual Perspectives. Goes from past to present time.
This book right here had been boomeranged all over my newsfeeds, on fb & IG then when you have Melissa Teo ranting, raving, screaming at us readers to go and one click a book come release day 😝 that’s pretty much what you do!
It all starts off during one of eleven year old Lincoln's rebellious moments as he talks his brother Colt and their driver into stopping for a short while on the wrong side of the tracks at the only basketball court the neighbourhood had, it's here where they befriend nine year old Penelope (aka P or Pea) who's the same age as Colt and decide to take her home with them for dinner. From this point onwards this girl is cemented into the family making this trio inseparable.

From this point onwards this girl is cemented into the family making this trio inseparable.
Penelope is a ward of the state, living in a group home, hasn't seen her mother in years and father unknown. These two boys are as different as chalk and cheese. Good boy Colt always follows the rules ad always in control, Lincoln aka Linc is the rule breaker, living life to the beat of his own drum, never fearing the consequences.
The boys family take her under their wing and straight away Penelope hits it off with one brother over the other and as the years go by he becomes her best friend and vice versa. Both boys care about her. One would do anything for her to protect her, even if she doesn't want it. One boy would even fight for her. Because he believes she's just as bad as he is.
When tragedy strikes it tears a family apart. Self loathing and a whole world of heartache reigns down on them. Each struggling in their own way to come to terms with their loss. Two believe they are to blame.
But in heartache comes healing.
Regrets got its spidery clingy little hooks into me from the get go and didn’t let go until that last page was devoured. And devoured I did. I didn't even come up to breathe, this was inhaled.
This is the kind of book I love to chase, the angst, the hurt, the pain, it all came at me at high speed. This ticked all my boxes.
