A. Meredith Walters

A Perfect Regret (Bad Rep, #2)

Synopsis:

Riley Walker makes all the right decisions and knows exactly where her life is headed.

Riley Walker does not make mistakes.

Riley Walker certainly doesn’t make spontaneous decisions.

But then Riley Walker gets dumped.

Spectacularly, gut-wrenching, stomp all over her heart dumped. And she is feeling more than a little angry. And a whole lot bitter. And suddenly the girl who has always done everything right feels like doing something completely wrong.

Garrett Bellows, lead guitarist for the local band, Generation Rejects, is going through life without a plan. Trying not to think past the next gig or the next party, he has worked hard to not become too attached to anyone or anything. So he is shocked to find himself drawn to the snarky girl with a chip on her shoulder. She pisses him off and puts him down. He knows she’s nothing more than a self-entitled college brat who thinks she’s better than the townie boy without a future.

Alcohol and a hefty dose of lust leads to a night both Riley and Garrett immediately regret. Her embarrassment, his pride and the weight of rumors and misconceptions convince Riley and Garrett that their one-time indiscretion will never be repeated. Particularly when their harshest critics are each other.

But how do you reconcile a head that wants to let go with a heart that keeps holding on?

And what happens when your biggest regret begins to seem almost perfect?

Manda's 4 Star Review:

Perfect Regret is book 2 in the Bad Rep series. Riley Walker is the girl with the plan. She knows what she wants and nothing is going to keep her from getting it. Content with her life and her boyfriend she is happy with the direction things are moving. Then out of nowhere she gets dumped and the perfect life she thought she was living gets turned upside down. Angry and bitter over the down fall of what she thought was perfect, she is forced to reevaluate her life.

Garrett Bellows is the lead guitarist for the band Generation Rejects. He had a reputation of a stoner and party boy. He never gets attached to anything but his music. Garrett is Riley's worst nightmare. He has no direction and not a care in the world. Riley cant help but judge Garrett for his lack of direction, but she soon learns that maybe there is more to life than perfection.

I love Riley and Garrett. Their story is so well written and keeps you engaged. From Riley's snarky attitude to Garrett’s laid bad approach you can't help but love them. I am a huge fan of A Meredith Walters writing style. Her descriptions and wording are hilarious. She writes characters that are interesting and witty. I loved Bad Rep and could not wait for Perfect Regret. It did not disappoint! I highly recommend this book!
