A self confessed lover of the bonk buster and fan of Jilly Cooper, Tabitha Webb said she was determined to write a book full of filth. Which is what she has managed. It’s full of the normal bests – unfulfilled mothers, yearning for children, marriages crumbling under the weight of real life – along with cliched remedies such as lesbian love affairs, rock star boyfriends, friends forever who will see things through to the end on hedonistic nights out.
The synopsis explains: ‘Friends Stella, Ana and Dixie are all at different stages in their lives, but they could all do with a shake-up. The three women are about to find out that life doesn’t stop in your forties – in fact it’s only just begun…Fresh, fearless and hilariously honest, No Regrets is perfect for fans of Dawn O’Porter, Kate Davies and Tracy Bloom.’
Webb is an acclaimed designer and entrepreneur who launched her eponymous luxury fashion brand in 2013.
Due out in the summer, it’s definitely what you’d call a cheap thrill beach read. And when everything else in life is so tough, there’s nothing wrong with that.
