Nova and Quinton: No regrets is the third book in the Nova series by Jessica Sorensen. I'm not going to lie. This series is a hard one to read. I don't mean hard as in the writing itself. I'm talking about hard as in subject matter. I love real life, gritty stories so this series was right up my alley. Just be aware that it might not be for everyone.Breaking Nova (book 1) introduced us to Nova and Quinton. Nova is lost after discovering her boyfriend's body after his suicide, and Quinton is drowning in guilt after surviving a wreck that killed his cousin and his girlfriend. In Saving Quinton (book 2), Nova travels to Las Vegas determined to find and save the boy she met the summer before. What should you expect from book 3? A look at an addict's life after drugs and the struggle to live and love again.I know most of you read to escape just like I do. We all love those fairy tale romances and happy endings. A story that makes us want be that woman. Sometimes, however, I want a book that takes me out of my comfort zone. One that shoves real life down my throat and makes me appreciate what I've got. This is that book.Quinton is out of rehab, back home with his father in Seattle and clean. He's also far from being okay. He still suffers from unbearable guilt over the accident. That same guilt makes him refuse to move forward. He can't move on from Lexi and the promise he made her before she died. The only thing Quinton looks forward to is his nightly phone calls with Nova.Nova hasn't seen Quinton since he went to rehab. She's in Idaho, going to college and living with Tristan and Lea. Just as life seems to finally be going right, it all falls apart. Nova spends her free time practicing with her band, trying to keep Tristan on the clean and sober path, and talking to Quinton by phone. Between making sure her friends stay safe, keeping the band happy and worrying about those she couldn't help, Nova is about to reach her breaking point. She loves Quinton and is dying to be with him, but she knows he isn't ready.No Regrets is a story of two people who have survived but must learn to live and love again. It's a story of an addict trying to make it day by day and the girl who refuses to give up on him. It's a story of love, hope, and how far you will go for the ones you love.No Regrets gets a 4.5/5 Hookers from me.  Remember this is not a happy series, but by the end your heart will thank you!
