Yayy, finally, I have finished reading this gem. Took me long enough to finally put it down. First thing first, in my honest opinion is that this book good enough to read in my spare time, but I don't think it's the best book of Colleen Hoover. But I was so glad that I got a chance to read it first since the publisher sent me an e-Arc on netgalley (Thank you very much!!).

Overall, the book was good, though it didn't make me cry a river like I expected. I do really like the story line and that relationship between Morgan and Clara was just on point, I liked them a lot. It made me realize that open up in a family was needed just as much as compassion and trust. Without opening up, there might be leading to some wrongs. Highly recommended!!

Wow! What an emotional story!
Author Colleen Hoover tends to shake me up now and again and that's a good thing!
Main characters Morgan Grant and her 16 yr old daughter Clara will stay with me for a very long time. Their unique storyline revolves around love, loss, betrayal and family dynamics.
And what an ending!
Colleen Hoover gives us a beautiful and tragic story that I highly recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake Romance for an arc of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

Another amazing story from Colleen Hoover. It’s lovely, charming yet bittersweet. The characters are relatable and real. This book was great!!

This book was nothing short of amazing! I’m already a Colleen Hoover fan but this just shows her range. She has a way of making you feel every single emotion and wrapping things up and it leaving you on a cliffhanger. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone! The characters were fantastic and the storylines were great! Easy to read and no room for confusion!! Loved it!

Quite honestly, Colleen Hoover books are my jam. I’ve been reading them for what seems like years (because it has been years, maybe even longer) and every book to date has delighted me. The last few books have had somewhat darker vibes and have been pitched at an older audience (or, as someone who frequents the children’s bestsellers lists, a more mature reader), so I was unsure who the target audience for this would be. Thankfully it was just right!

Examining the relationship between mother and daughter, immediately following tragedy, was most definitely a story I did not expect to find a lot of joy in. Add in the early twist in the tale, and it seemed to be too dark to even consider a happy resolution. Thankfully I know I can rely on Colleen Hoover to resolve the conflicts, if not happily then at least satisfactorily.

Like all the books that came before it, I read this book in a day. I knew this would happen, so I had cleared the day for relaxing on the couch. Another thing this book had in common with the author’s others – tears. All of the tears. The sad tears, the happy tears and the laughing tears. Just all the tears.

In case it’s not obvious, I loved this book. If I were to describe the storyline it might appear far-fetched or mundane, but that’s where Hoover’s skill in crafting a character takes over. Very quickly, I become attached to her characters and invested in their endings. Which come too soon. Because I always race through her books.

Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for an advanced egalley. And thanks to Colleen Hoover for continuing to write magnificent stories.

Colleen Hoover did it again. Made me feel all the things!! This book had me going through all of the emotions, frustrating, sadness, anger, laughter, and made me squeal. When a tragedy happens it pushes Clara and Morgan further apart. Their relationship is a huge part of the book and reminded me of how I was as a teenager. That was difficult for me to read at times and the reactions I had is probably what my own mother felt. Wading through emotions as a teen can be extremely difficult especially when a traumatic event happens. Hoover does a great job of portraying that in this novel. I miss reading it already. It went too quickly! I give this 4.5 stars.

Thanks Montlake Romance and NetGalley for my advance readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first romance by Colleen Hoover (I had only read Verity by her prior to this), and I’m so sad it has taken me this long to pick up one of her romance novels! I absolutely loved this story, as gut-wrenching as it was at points. I was fully invested in the relationship between Clara and Miller. It reminded me a little of my own high school relationships (but only in the beginning, mom!) From the other reviews I’ve read, I think people are either going to love Clara and Miller like myself, or want a little more from the adult relationships in the story.

I can’t wait to read Hoover’s backlist. I’m a huge fan!

Another amazing novel by Colleen Hoover! I could not put this book down. “Regretting You” is about grief, love, and family but also provides an interesting plot that captivates the reader. All of a sudden, just a few chapters in, I was invested in every character and my heart broke with theirs. Colleen Hoover always captures what makes us human, the messiness and complicated decisions that turn our worlds upside down. Hoover is the only writer of romance that I will read since her books are just so damn good. Her books always make me smile with the cheesy, lovey things that happen and cry with the heartbreaking events that add realism to the story. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free advanced copy in exchange for an honest review! I’ll definitely be picking up a physical copy of this one! (4.5 stars)

4.5 stars
Colleen Hoover has done it again and knocked it out of the park. I knew there was a reason she is my all time favorite author. Her books literally rip my heart into shreds.
I was very surprised by how much I loved this book, since it technically is YA, but it reads so much more like an adult contemporary novel than it does a young adult novel. I really loved reading from Morgan's perspective the most, and I think its because I related to her alot. I was a little annoyed with Clara at times, and I docked a half star because 1) I REALLY wanted to know what was in those letters, and 2) the last chapter with the movie film was boring and total nonsense.
This book is super fast paced right from the start, and my heart broke every single time I picked this book up to read. I had every single emotion while reading this book, and I honestly wanted to kill a few characters because I was so mad at them, and I felt so bad for Morgan. I never knew I could have such strong feelings while reading a book, but CoHo is the QUEEN. I shouldn't have doubted her.

This story is way more than just a mother/daughter relationship, way more than just a romance. Its an emotional roller coaster. If you had any doubts about reading it, you need to give it a try. I am totally surprised by how much I loved it.

I was introduced to Colleen Hoover just this year. I have not been disappointed by any of her storylines yet. This one was not any different. I find that Hoover's mind must be all over the place with what she can come up with.

Morgan had Clara when she was only 17 years old. She and Chris raise Clara together as a happily married couple. Cpara is now 17 and does not understand her mother.

Tragedy strikes and Clara and Morgan endure many relationship hardships and neither are quite honest with one another.

This deception causes quite the strain to their relationship. In Regretting You we recieve a beautiful story that allows us to piece together the makeup of their relationship from both sides.

I found myself frustrated that the mother and daughter wouldn't simply have a conversation together about how to move forward. The writing of Hoover created that on purpose. By the end if the story I felt like I had been on an emotional journey and I did mind it one bit. Hoover continues to impress me.

Thank you #netgalley , Montlake, and Amazon for an advanced readers copy of this novel.

Ugh. I don’t know how Colleen Hoover does it every time. This is only my third book from her and I’m mad it’s taken me this long to find her. She’s just incredible.

The emotions of this book, will keep you page turning, the shock, lies, betrayals will have you jaw dropping, shaking your head, and maybe shed a tear or few. This book you will learn a thing or two on some life lessons about letting go, or holding on.


This ebook was given to me as an advanced reader copy and the views are entirely of my own.

When I went into Regretting You by Colleen Hoover I wasn't sure what I expected. I can tell you I didn't expect to cry as much as I did. Colleen has created a story that blends the relationship between a mother and a daughter, the relationship of friends and the relationship of a first love and how they endure the ups and downs of tragedy. Regretting You is emotional and you can't help from feeling everything the characters feel. I had trouble putting it down. I highly recommend adding to your must read list.

The incredibly versatile writer Colleen Hoover strikes again, this time with family drama/romance novel Regretting You. For years, Hoover has been my go-to for Young Adult and New Adult romance, but with books like her most recent thriller, Verity, she’s sneaked her way into a special category of mine — Read Whatever the Hell They Write. So when I heard that Regretting You was mother/daughter focused, I was excited to get something familiar, yet different.

I’ve read some great books with parent/child relationships, usually in the child’s perspective, but I think this has to be the first time I’ve read a book where I got both perspectives. It jumped from the sweet and loving mother Morgan to her sixteen-year-old daughter, and fire cracker of a girl, Clara. They have their own journeys — their own love stories, their own coming-of-age stories — and they’re weaved together beautifully. That, right there, is all you need to know before picking up this book.

Hoover keeps her synopses vague for a reason, partly because of her signature plot twists. The plot twists here were especially great because they were hinted at early on and I still didn’t see them coming. Like Morgan and Clara, perhaps, I just didn’t want to believe that what actually happened in their family could, in fact, happen. So all throughout the novel, I was working through all the tragedy and heartache as much as they were. It was all deliciously devastating.

Admittedly, and surprisingly, I did find myself more drawn to Morgan than Clara. I loved Clara and her spunk, and Lord have mercy, did I love her romance with Miller, but I would be itching to get back to Morgan’s chapters. Her journey felt so new to me that it was almost foreign, and I wanted to learn as much as I could. Like Clara, I was gradually coming to appreciate not only Morgan, but all mothers. All parents. I wanted to call my own mom and apologize for keeping so many secrets from her during my teen years.

Since I love love, I was happy to get not one, not two, but three love stories in one. The love between a parent and child is such a beautiful thing, but it’s hard to see when you’re young or when there are obstacles in between. Being in my mid-twenties, I felt I was in the perfect mindset to read Regretting You — where I understand Clara and her naivety all too well and am in the process of understanding Morgan and her fears. I can only imagine how much I’m going to appreciate this book when I’m older.

Who knows, a re-read could eventually get my current CoHo favorite Maybe Someday dethroned. For now, Regretting You will have to sit comfortably on my bookshelf as #2. You just wait, Morgan and Clara. *puts on sunglasses* I’ll be back.

My first foray into the world of Colleen Hoover was Verity -- which is a book unlike anything else I've ever read. That being said, Regretting You was truly a spectacular book. Colleen Hoover does such a phenomenal job of depicting the relationship between mother and teenage daughter, allowing me to connect on another level to the characters. A must read!

I have never been disappointed after reading a Colleen Hoover novel, and Regretting You was just as fantastic as I hoped it would be. I went in blind, as I think it should be. Don't even read the blurb! Just knowing that's it's a mother/daughter story is enough- dive right in, and I promise you won't be disappointed.

5+++ Beautiful stars!!! I just finished reading Colleen Hoover’s newest book, Regretting You...This book IS Epic love! I’m a sobbing mess! I have loved every one of her book, but this book...The emotions...My heart... An all consuming, heart wrenching love story.

Every now and then you read a book that grabs you emotionally and doesn't let go, Regretting You by Colleen Hoover was this book for me. I rarely read a synopsis so when I started reading Regretting You I had no idea what I was in for. I had no idea how deeply this story was going to work it's way into my heart. Beautiful characters, and a fantastic storyline that I can't stop thinking about!

Regretting You is so much more than a contemporary romance, it's an all consuming love story. A love story doesn't have to be a romantic relationship, yes this story has romance, a love story can be about the relationships we share with anyone we care about, and the sacrifices we make for the ones we love. The depth of the love stories in Regretting You is what I loved about this book.

My hopeless romantic heart is always in search of stories about EPIC LOVE and Regretting You was exactly that. I highly recommend this beautiful book.

2 reviews - both 5 stars


WOW! This book blew me away! I would give it a huge 5 stars and highly recommend to others. This book is a mother/daughter duo romance, yes 2 stories that intertwine together. It was brilliantly written and had me flipping the pages to see what would happen next....

Morgan and Clara have a complicated relationship and when tragedy strikes it will become even worse for them.. it will have Morgan turning to a man she never imagined she would need so badly and Clara going against her parents wishes and seeing the boy she was forbidden from seeing. Even though Jonah and Miller are both taboo the ladies will find what they lost in themselves with the help of there beau's but will it be enough to bring there relationship back together and live a HEA?

Get to one clicking you don't wanna miss this twisty romantic whirlwind!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not sure where to start with this review. Have you ever felt fully submersed into a character that you feel every emotion that they go through? That's this book.

The bonus is that you will get two stories that are in one with this book. They are very much connected and overlap along the way.

Morgan and Clara weave in and out together, throughout the story. Their emotions blend and drift. You'll have bouts of true and utter devastating angst and un-justness. Many times I wanted to chuck my e-reader and scream at the maddening unfairness. But then you catch glimmers of hope. They sparkle and wink in-between all the other moments. And then stubbornness stumbles in and as truths are leaked, vulnerabilities are laid bare. Don't worry, you'll have some chuckles along the way.

The brokenness needs to be healed with and between Morgan and Clara. Definitely pick up this book to enjoy this journey as only told by Colleen Hoover... you will not be disappointed.

REGRETTING YOU hooked me from the very first page and I'm not embarrassed to tell you that I did not do anything I was supposed to do until I was finished reading! Needless to say, my husband was constantly yelling at me to stop reading! Obviously he has never read a Colleen Hoover novel because everyone knows once you start there is no way to stop. I devour her stories and everyone of them has crushed my heart and left me crying. REGRETTING YOU does not disappoint. Colleen Hoover, you owe me a box of tissues! There isn't a single thing about this book that I didn't love. It was wonderful, mesmerizing, hypnotizing, heartbreaking and breathtaking.



This is going to be a shorter review because my honest opinion is that it's best to go into REGRETTING YOU knowing as little as possible about the actual story so I won't tell you anything that'll ruin the experience here. At times I was shocked and started to cry.   I kept saying, "How the heck can someone get through this?" There are also moments of humor, holding my breath for the next chapter and hoping for the ending I wanted more than ever!  But I can say that I was hooked from the very first page and completely drawn into these characters' lives.  REGRETTING YOU is not your typical Colleen Hoover story. I love that she expanded her normal writing and would love to read more of these suspenseful, mystery books from her. She blew me away and left me craving more!



Once I started reading REGRETTING YOU I discovered that there's even more to this story than meets the eye. There's an added layer to it that I absolutely loved but that I won't mention because discovering it as you read is honestly the best. One of the things I love most about Colleen Hoover's writing is how deeply she makes me care for her characters and how strongly she makes me feel for them. Deception and pain, love and loss, secrets and truths, hope and redemption—they all twist and tangle together creating another unforgettable novel from one of the freshest and most trusted voices in romance. Finally, you need to read REGRETTING YOU.  It will surprise, shock, impress, grip and absorb you into its story. And those wonderful characters, how happy I am for having ‘met’ them! They will stick with me for a very long time. I just know the same thing will happen for you...

4.5

Thanks to @negalley and #montlakeromance for my review copy. I won’t lie, I was very excited about this book but I was also very weary. I had forgotten the synopsis and just remembered that it involved a mother and daughter. A few chapters in and I quickly DM’d my friend telling her that I was worried. Well let me say that I had nothing to worry about and that going in with very little info ended being the best thing that could have happened. Because of this I will try to make my review as vague as possible while trying to express the reasons why I really enjoyed this book.
.
Told in two perspectives,mother (Morgan) and daughter (Clara), we get to endure an emotional roller coaster. Some parts do seem YA since Clara is in high school but the dual perspectives provides some great insight and makes the book all that more amazing. Morgan became a mother at a young age and now Clara is in high school. Due to some big tragedies in their lives and some misunderstandings they slowly grow apart.
.
While there are romance aspects in the book what I loved most is seeing the mother/daughter relationship. As daughters/ kids we sometimes don’t realize the sacrifices that parents make for us. And parents sometimes want to protect us from the world without realizing that we are usually stronger than we seem.
.
With that being said, I think this book would be great for anyone to read but some might be a bit weary because of the subject. I do have to say that there was an incident in the book more than half way through that made me pause. Overall, this book ended up being much more emotional than I thought it would be and was glad that one of anticipated reads didn’t let me down.
