REVIEW
I’ve enjoyed quite a few stories written by Megan Smith in the past. Surviving Regret is no different. This is a 4 star heartfelt story that consumed me.
This is the story about a group of high school friends that their lives were changed forever in one disastrous night. Now fast forward 3 years, they are in college now but some of the friends in the group can’t seem to get past that night. The story is mostly centered around Macy and Landon. In order for Landon to deal with the PTSD of that night, he uses unhealthy ways to cope. Macy keeps forgiving him because she can’t let go of the past either. This is their difficult journey.
This story was somber and sad. It pulled at my heartstrings because as a nurse, I get to see this quite a bit. This book is a work of fiction but it felt all too real. I really enjoyed this story about love, lost and forgiveness. Beautifully written.
This is a standalone told in dual POV with a great HEA. I recommend this book and Megan has some previous titles that are worth it also.
