Regretting You by Colleen Hoover


Publication Date: December 10, 2019


Plot: Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike. Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn’t have a spontaneous bone in her body.


With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris—Morgan’s husband, Clara’s father, and the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long-lasting consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara. While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan finds comfort in the last person she expects to, and Clara turns to the one boy she’s been forbidden to see. With each passing day, new secrets, resentment, and misunderstandings make mother and daughter fall further apart. So far apart, it might be impossible for them to ever fall back together.

MY THOUGHTS:

Another 5☆ read from Colleen Hoover. If she keeps this up, I’m honestly not sure if I’m going to be able to pick a fave! I LOVED the mother/daughter POVs. I fell in love with these characters and their stories from the very first page. Absolutely beautiful! The amount of emotion packed into these pages tugged on all the right heartstrings and left me feeling….wrecked. Completely.


Morgan is such an incredible, badass mom who has been through so much + deserves the love that she is finally able to have with Jonah. ALL the heart eyes! Clara is definitely a teenager at times, but her story is so well told, you just can't help but relate to her and love her all the same.


I love going into Colleen Hoover books blind. Other than a friend suggesting which one to read next, that’s pretty much all I do. And I’m seriously SO glad. Because this one…MAN. I honestly feel like this is one of her most underrated books that I don’t hear about nearly enough! Also, the film scene at the end had me laughing and then crying within 30 seconds. (iykyk!) Colleen Hoover seriously is the GOAT. We don’t deserve her!

☆ Rating: 5/5 stars
