Janet Nissenson - The One Real Regret review

Max and Jill have quite opposite upbringings, but neither childhood was happy. I liked how Janet gives the reader insight into their backgrounds and how both got to the point where they are today. Max had never forgotten Jill. She was the one he let get away. Whereas Jill tried her best to forget him. But life had a funny way of bringing them together again. I liked how we went back in time to also see how things started between these two before we saw the now. I thought this was a sweet, second-chance story!

Max Wainwright's life has been filled with difficult choices, dating back to his rough upbringing in England, a life he left long ago. But as tough as some of those choices have been, he has never regretted making a single one of them – with the exception of the one he made several years ago during a business trip to Seattle. Walking away from the only woman he's ever really cared about continues to be the biggest regret of his life – the only regret.
