So good!
I loved this book so much! Some of it but home and is have to take a break from it so I wouldn't cry too hard. I still feel like I have a lot of unanswered questions, but so did Morgan so maybe the reader should feel that way too!

"Regretting you" by @colleenhoover
Another beautifully written story that had my emotions all over.
This read is so relatable for so many people out there. It shows the raw emotions of loss and betrayal all in one.
This read has you seeing that sometimes you can't trust even the closet of people in your life with your most valuable things, or what you thought was most valuable. It will show that while bad things do happen in life, there are good things that bloom from the ashes left.
Give yourself time to heal and move forward from the bad, but don't deprive the heart of what it wants the most, or WHO it wants the most. Sometimes, those people are the ones who know us the best. Even more than the ones we put so much of our life, time, and efforts into.

Really enjoyed this book, can't go wrong with Colleen Hoover.
I like books that tell from different perspectives
Would have loved to have seen what the letters had said. Think it would have been a good thing to add in after the end, so the reader knew, but not Morgan

4/5 stars - I REALLY enjoyed this book! It was my second CoHo book and I was a little apprehensive, but gosh did it deliver. I loved how it was told in both the mother and the daughter perspectives. Beautifully written story surrounding grief and relationships.
Really frustrating but I like it
Not really the type of book I would normally read but my sister insisted I read it and even recommended it as our little book club's botm.
Did I enjoy the book? A BIG FAT NO. It wasn't the least bit enjoyable, no! It was so frustrating. Knowing the thoughts of both Morgan and Clara, I straight up want to drag them by the hair and lock them up in a small room and make them talk. But that same frustration made me flip through page by page desperately needing to know what will happen next hahaha. Oh the calm in my heart once things started to fall into their right places~
It's a good book. This made me realize that one does not have to enjoyable to be good.
Now I want a Miller or Jonah of my own.

This book sheds light on the reality of how harsh a mother and daughter relationship can be. Although the daughters character can be very irrational and a little annoying. Clara has a hard time after her dad dies and her grief makes her do stupid things. These things put a strain on her relationship with her mom because she uses her anger is retribution to hate her mother. The daughter’s actions and lead to strains in their familiar relationship and also regret it. The daughter uses it anger to ruin her virginity and to put pressure on her relationship with her boyfriend. Ultimately her whole character seems completely childish and irrational.
I hate that Miller was used as an object to get back at Morgan. I mean Clara decided to lose her virginity only because it’d hurt her mother not because she was ready. However, he stuck through all her inner turmoil and her family drama because he loved her. He’s been in live with her for years. The ending with the promposal was beautiful and gave me butterflies. Knowing that he videotaped her car going by and said that of she turned back to give him a ride that this would be a sign. The sign he needed to ask her out. I just loved that he captured every part of their story beginning, middle, and end.
I love Morgan’s flashbacks to her childhood and how she does deserve the electric love of Jonah. And i also appreciate how Jonah’s actions are respectable. He left so that Chris could be there for Morgan when she got pregnant with his baby. Although that choice was the right thing to do it also hurt him so much because he’s been in love with Morgan since they were teenagers. And he still loves her in his 30s. Hell he remembers her favorite flavor of candy from when they were teenagers (something her husband forgot).
Chris is a terrible person and Jenny was so unbelievable. She’d make these digs about knowing her sister’s husband better because she was having an affair with him. Jenny was also giving gifts and playing her sister as a fiddle. Chris and her would talk about their meeting in front of her and no one said anything. She is a horrible human being especially after all Morgan did for Jenny. I mean Jenny slept with Jonah at his father’s funeral and then lied to him about her baby being his. Did she plot to go to the services in order to cover up her unplanned pregnancy by her brother in law? Also the idea that Jenny mentioned marrying Jonah. Was jenny really going to marry Jonah and also continue her affair with chris?
I also love the bravery of Morgan and how the mom was ready to take the daughter’s brutal hatred so that she can keep the image of her father. Only the image of her father as a saint wasn’t accurate or even remotely true.

This fell flat. Maybe because the characters didn’t relate to me. I just didn’t like the main characters.
