I love Colleen Hoover's work, I really do, but I will admit I haven't fallen in love with her words in the same way I did when I read Hopeless and Ugly Love. Regretting You changed that, I became totally enraptured by every character from the very beginning. I had such a hard time convincing myself that sleep was necessary and it was time to put the book down.
I wanted to pull my hair out at times and felt the anxiety of the characters through their tragedies and miscommunications. So emotionally captivating and real, mixed with the perfect amount of witty humor.
I highly recommend going in blindly and for those of you put off by the YA/NA label attached to this story, don't be. This is a story that's about more than young love. It is about grief, forgiveness, romantic love and most importantly familiar love.

As I like to go blind with Colleen Hoover books I will not give details of the plot in the review so as not to ruin you the story.

I read this book more than a month ago but I still had my review pending. This is the first time I'm lucky enough about reading a CoHo book this earlier, I finished reading the book at three in the morning, I loved it.

This isn't a typical CoHo romance but I liked it, when I started reading it I only knew it was about a mother and daughter because I wanted to go totally blind, I didn't even read the synopsis and I'm glad I didn't do it because I think it has some important spoilers that give shape to the plot.

First of all, this book reminded me a lot of Slammed and Hopeless, perhaps because of family dynamics and romance.

The interesting thing about Regretting You is that the story is told from the point of view of Morgan and her daughter Clara, we can know what each one thinks and things that are not said, how they put everything in perspective to resolve the differences they have and strengthen their relationship.

This book is about forgiveness, but above all, it shows us that in all kinds of relationships the important thing is trust, no matter if it is with your parents, partner or friends.

Clara at times frustrated me a lot for her attitude but at the same time I felt that it was understandable to some extent for the things that lead to it.

I liked Morgan's strength in the whole book trying to do her best for her daughter, although sometimes what we think is best can hurt us more.

Just as we have two female protagonists we have the male protagonists with whom they have their own romantic story Jonah and Miller.

I loved Miller because despite the situations that happened with Clara (I one part I was really mad at her) he was always patient and understanding with her. I loved all those little details that shaped their story.

Jonah liked me from the beginning, for his charisma, for his kindness and knowing how to deal with shiting situations following his heart.

I love how Colleen give us that revelation about the name of the book and how her covers always have that glimpse of the story.

This is an emotional, funny, romantic book but most of all I liked the family approach that had and my favorite part was the epilogue, it was the perfect closure for this story.

I literally could not stop reading this!! I was initially concerned it might be a slow read, as a women's fiction about a mother/daughter relationship. Clearly, I was so wrong. It had me completely hooked.

This book goes SO much further than that - yes, the mother/daughter relationship is a central theme, but it also has romance, personal growth, grief, tragedy, and heartbreak. Yes the relationship between Morgan and her daughter Clara is a big part of the story - but so are the relationships between sisters, significant others, friends, and the sweetest little baby Elijah.

It's told in alternating chapters between Morgan and Clara's viewpoints, and while sometimes this tactic can take away from the plot or seem to halt the flow of the book - Colleen Hoover makes this work perfectly in Regretting You. It moves the story along, and gives a depth to both characters that we wouldn't otherwise see. Morgan and Clara are both very well developed, and we see a lot of natural growth in each of them separately, and as a mother/daughter team as well.

This book will give you all the feels. It is amazing. I can't say what else I want to without giving away some spoilers - but read this book!!!

Thank you NetGalley and Montlake Romance for a gifted review copy in exchange for an honest opinion.

Morgan Grant and her daughter, sixteen-year-old, Clara would like nothing more than to be nothing alike. Clara claims her mother is predictable and doesn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps. Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. Morgan got pregnant and married at a very young age and put her life and her dreams on hold. With opposite personalities, the two find it difficult to coexist. The person that holds their household together is Chris - Morgan's husband and Clara's father. But after a tragic and questionable accident, the peace in their household is shattered. While struggling to rebuild, Morgan finds comfort in the last person she should and Clara turns to a boy she's forbidden to see. With each passing day, the two grow further and further apart. and it might be impossible for them to ever repair their relationship.

I don't believe that Colleen Hoover will ever write a book that I don't absolutely love and feel every emotion there is to feel. ALL THE FEELS! I was immediately invested in this story. The alternating viewpoints are always a really great way to tell a story, but especially one as powerful as Regretting You. This book is in my top 10 reads for 2019. Buy this book for yourself, your mom and your friends - it's that good.

Thank you to Montlake Romance and Netgalley for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Regretting You is my favorite book by Colleen Hoover. I loved this book from start to finish. Colleen gave me all the feels and then some.

Colleen Hoover always takes romance to the next level. In this story, she wrote about love, grief, self-reflection, growing up, and leaving the past in the past. It was beautiful, tragic, and left me completely satisfied with the ending.

I always love Colleen's characters because they are well-developed and relatable. I loved the mother/daughter relationship between Morgan and Clara. It is amazing to see them go through their ups and downs. Ultimately, Morgan doesn't want her daughter to make the same mistakes that she did.

Love brings everyone together in this story in some way. Whether it's experiencing love for the first time or losing a loved one. Colleen Hoover showcases the goods and bads that love brings in the most tasteful way.

I loved that as I was reading it I was already picturing it as a movie. Netflix, you know what to do!!

I give Regretting You 5 stars. Everything about this book is GREAT. The vulnerability of the characters is breathtaking, Colleen's writing is incomparable. and willl leave readers feeling all the emotions.

Regretting You is an emotional, well-written family drama about betrayal, grief, and mother/daughter relationship with a dash of romance. It's written in alternate POVs: Morgan's (the mother) and Clara's (the daughter). I preferred Morgan's POV because, as a mother, I could relate to her more. I must say, the story was quite predictable, I guessed most of the major plot points after reading the first few chapters, but I still enjoyed Regretting You very much. I have only read a couple of Collen Hoover's books, and this one is my favorite so far.

Thank you @NetGalley and #montlakeromance for sending me this Advance Reader Copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. (Release Date | 10 December 2019)

SYNOPSIS | Morgan Grant finds it extremely difficult to coexist with her sixteen year old daughter (Clara). Morgan got married and had Clara at a very young age and she doesn't want her daughter to give up her dreams by rushing into a serious relationship, & Clara has no intention of becoming her mother. Chris (Morgan's husband) is the one who keeps the peace between them until one day he dies in a tragic accident. Now Morgan & Clara don't know how to deal with their grief and communicate with each other without their being resentment and misunderstandings.

MY THOUGHTS | Never in this world did I think I would be approved for an ARC of a Colleen Hoover book, but my dreams have been answered and this was fantastic. I absolutely love stories that show the same event from multiple people's perspectives and this did that so wonderfully. I rooted for the characters & the romance and I gorged this whole thing in less than <24h whilst I was travelling to pick up my stepdaughter for my wedding.

Thanks to Montlake Romance for providing me an ecopy via NG.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 = 4.5
This was my first book by Colleen Hoover.
I'll be honest it was a bit difficult for me to get in rhythm with Morgan I understood the protection she wanted for her daughter Clara but the Truth always comes to light.. Why not avoid the burn and be straight from the beginning...

Overall the story is extremely well written and the dynamic between Clara and Miller is super sweet. I can totally see their future turning into another book..

4.5 Stars

So much angst but oh so good!

Regretting You is raw. It is reality. It is grief and healing. It is young love and old love. It is secrets. It is spiraling out of control. It is keeping your composure and sacrificing. It is rebellion. It is consequences. It is tragedy. It is betrayal. It is friendships. It is truths. It is learning to live again. It is growth.

All of this made for an emotional wreck. A roller-coaster ride of turmoil and realism. But mixed in with all that strife was a mother and daughter learning to navigate a new set of rules. A new relationship. A new dimension.

Regretting You is everything this girl didn't even know she needed and more.

I will say I had a small issue. There was a certain part I wanted more of. Not because the author didn't give closure. Because she did. The character got the exact closure she needed; one that CoHo felt was vital. No this closure was for me. I am a nosy bitch, and I wanted answers. There were too many questions. Too many what ifs and what the hells. I wanted to know exactly what happened. I didn't need this closure for any of the characters. The closure they got allowed them to move on to the future they needed. I wanted these answers just for my nosy and selfish self.

Even with that small thing, I would definitely recommend this CoHo book.

Regretting you was a phenomenal book. One of the best books that I've ever read. Sometimes when I was reading it I forgot that I was reading a book that Colleen Hoover wrote. You'll love this book from page one to the end of the book. It's shocking, sad and happy at the same time and you'll even have feelings for the characters that I didn't even know that could happen. 5 Stars or in my case 5 Margaritas to Colleen for writing a fantastic book.

Wow…this book. Colleen Hoover has such a way with words that you get sucked into the story and it doesn’t want to let you go. Love, loss, heartache, betrayal, and forgiveness are just a few of the things experienced in Regretting You. While reading this book I was so surprised when certain aspects of the story stirred up feelings and memories of things that I’ve experienced in my own life. It’s an emotional read but so worth it. This is one of those books that you don’t want to give anything away in a review. All I can say is, read this book.

I took a LONG break from Colleen, then last year I picked up Verity and I remembered why I loved her words so much. Regretting You was exception. The mother and daughter relationship reminded me so much of my own. When I was a terrible and heartless teen. Gosh was I the worse! I was extremely frustrated at times with the decisions made but reminded myself life can be messy. No one always makes the right choices. Regretting You felt very real. I valued its realness. Colleen is one again back on my auto-buy list.

Another one hit out of the park by Colleen Hoover! Each story she writes, I just adore the family, their challenges, happy times and laughter and I sure do cry with them when they have all the feelings. I choose to NOT read any blurb for her books, going in blind is ABSOLUTELY the way to go with Regretting You. The fact I didn't know what the blurb said made the story so much more interesting. As always, a wonderful addition to my bookshelf full of Colleen Hoover stories.

Tying together themes of grief, romance, and parental/child relationships can be tricky but Colleen Hoover hits in out of the park with this book. The writing is raw and real when it comes to grief and how multifaceted it is. The relationship with Clara and Morgan was on point. You could identify with both. The romance was beautiful and heartwrenching. I loved this book. One of my top reads of 2019 and one of my favorite books by Colleen.

I loved the concept. Dual mother daughter story. Unexpected tragedy and now they have to pick up the pieces of their lives. I’m going to try not to give any spoilers or any hints, because the book really hinges on that one big event. Here’s what I did like.

The author always makes you feel like you’re there with the characters. You experience everything right along with them. I loved that the main relationship of the book was mother daughter. A very different kind of love story. It’s the kind of story I feel does not get written enough. My mom is honestly my best friend, so this book definitely caught my attention. My favorite character though was Miller. He was the most honest and real character in the story. And I appreciated the hell out of him for keeping me interested.

Here’s what I didn’t like. I know tragedy struck and that can make people angry and lash out. But I hated the way mother and daughter treated each other. I hated the lies and the secrets. I just wanted them to talk to each other. Maybe because I have good communication with my mom I just couldn’t wrap my head around the disrespectful way they behaved.

Overall I did like the story and I’m so happy things turned out the way they did. Plus what Miller did in the end had my heart bursting with happiness. It was adorable!

What an emotional and captivating story!Colleen always has a way with her words that once I start a story of her I just can't put it down until I finish it!This is exactly what happened with this one, I was hooked and intrigued and I wanted more and more.

Regretting You is one of the best books I have read from her, the story is interesting and full of emotions!I cried I swoon and I was so frustrated that I wanted to brake my kindle!We see how the relationship between a mother and daughter breaks after an unfortunate event, how their lives change.

This is a must read, an unforgettable story!I was a part of it and I felt sorry for them!It was realistic and original!I loved it with all mmy heart!

“I’m a work in progress. Maybe I always will be. I’m not sure I’ll ever feel like a final draft, and I’m not sure I want to. The search for myself is becoming my favorite part of my new journey”. -Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

Okay, so I’m having trouble writing this review, but only because this novel was so phenomenal that I feel like I cannot possibly do this work of art justice. But here it goes:

Colleen Hoover does it again. She ripped my heart out in the best possible way. This book will have you feeling every single emotion. I was consumed by feeling the crushing weight of grief. I felt the sharpness of betrayal. I felt the lust and longing of forbidden romance. And I felt the unwavering love between family members. This. Book. Was. Incredible. The characters were so raw and honest which made it easy to connect with each one to their very core. I smiled, I laughed, I cried, and I cursed. This book is an emotional rollercoaster that every reader needs to ride. Now cue the humongous book hangover.

A huge thank you to Netgalley, Montlake Romance, and Colleen Hoover for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sisters Morgan and Jenny are 12-months apart, but they are more like best friends rather than sisters. They did everything together growing up. In high school, Morgan dated Chris and when Jenny started dating Chris’s best friend, Jonah, the four of them did everything together. But after Jonah and Chris’s high school graduation, everything changed. Jonah moved away. And even though he was Jenny’s boyfriend, Morgan asked herself why she was feeling so heartbroken over it.

Now 17-years later, Morgan is a stay-at-home mom to 16-year old Clara and married to her high school sweetheart Chris. Jenny is a new mom and engaged to her high school flame Jonah. The foursome is back together again, but things feel different. Not just because it’s been nearly two decades since high school, but because they’ve all changed so much over the years.

But then tragedy strikes their family and they’re left to pick up the pieces around them. Clara is a teenager trying to get by in high school but now she’s forced to grow up more than any 16-year old girl should ever have to. When one of her classmates named Miller starts taking romantic interest in Clara, she starts to see the light at the end of the very dark tunnel that’s been clouding her happiness for months.

A story about family, love and second chances, Regretting You by Colleen Hoover is an extremely emotional read. Although this book is labeled as YA, it reads very adult, especially since we see through the perspectives of both Clara and her mom, Morgan. I don’t want to say too much, as I think most of this book is a spoiler, but I LOVED this book! Colleen has produced yet another dynamic, meaningful, tear-jerker read that you will not be able to put down. 5/5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Montlake Romance and Colleen Hoover for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ah man guys. I think I’ve read 3 books by Colleen Hoover and not a single one has disappointed me.

Her books are perfect to breaking up my thriller reads. Although every time I read one, I get frustrated that we can’t read the letters of the characters 😂 LIKE WHY?!

This book is fantastic. It has two perspectives, mother and daughter. You get to experience tragedy, heartache, love, infidelity, and anger all in one novel.

A lot of different emotions right? I think that’s why I like them so much. It’s basically a roller coaster each time I read it haha.

You also just get so invested into the characters. And you start rooting for one, just turn around and ask what the heck happened?

This one publishes December 10th, and I really hope you pick it up!

Morgan and her 15-year-old-daughter Clara couldn't be more different. Morgan is doing her best to prevent Clara from making the same mistakes that she did when she was her age while Clara is struggling to exist under her mother's overprotective and predictable orbit. When tragedy strikes and Chris, Morgan's husband and Clara's father, dies in an accident their worlds begin to tailspin as secrets become revealed.

I am always in awe of Colleen Hoover's ability to write about such difficult topics and make you feel so many things in each of her books. I always feel like there is a grip around my heart the entire time I read one of her stories because it is just full of so many emotions the whole time. This was such a beautiful story full of family, grief and love. Characters were frustrating at times but it was because they were so real in their reactions to the events unfolding; sometimes seeing the reality of how things are can be frustrating. Highly highly recommend the latest from Colleen Hoover.

4.5/5 stars
