Claire Mackenzie thinks her husband Owen has planned her the perfect spa weekend to give her a break. A stay-at-home mom to an eight- month-old and recently moved to Connecticut from Chicago, Claire is looking forward to her solo getaway. Part way into her drive, she realizes she forgot her wallet and when Claire walks into her kitchen it's not her husband she sees, but her realtor wearing nothing but purple lingerie. Owen doesn't have an explanation; he was caught cheating, and Claire files for divorce as fast as she can.

Unable to move back to Chicago, Claire calls in reinforcements. Her best friend Antonia moves into Claire's house that now feels too big. Claire knows she has to keep it together for her son, but she just wants to stay inside and avoid the world. Unfortunate run-ins with her soon-to-be ex-husband, his new perfectly blonde girlfriend, and the judgemental housewives in her neighborhood rattle Claire's newfound solitude.

Luckily for Claire, Antonia is there to give her a much needed push. Slowly but surely, Claire begins to find her new way of life: co-parenting with Owen, starting to work again, and meeting new people. Even though things are starting to look up, that doesn't mean Claire doesn't have some missteps along the way. Will any of her "regrets" come back to haunt her?

REGRETS ONLY by Erin Duffy is an enjoyable read. Claire's story is one of growth and finding oneself. She had completely thrown herself into her marriage and motherhood and hadn't left any time for herself. When she's blindsided by her husband's infidelity, Claire realizes she has no idea who she is anymore. With the support of her lifelong best friend Antonia and a new friend, Lissy, Claire eventually comes out of her shell. It was interesting to see Claire go through almost every emotion while she comes to terms with her divorce. I have to say, Claire does do a lot of outlandish things, that I found to be extreme and incredibly unlikable. Additionally, a new love interest for Claire kind of comes out of nowhere, and felt forced, especially after all she is going through with her divorce. All of that being said, REGRETS ONLY is a compelling and funny novel, perfect for an easy summer read.
