Regretting You by Colleen Hoover is a heartwarming yet deeply emotional story that explores the complexities of family, love, and grief with raw honesty. While the storyline is somewhat predictable, it doesn’t take away from the beauty of the journey or the relatable depth of the characters. Hoover masterfully balances heavier topics like loss and betrayal with an easy, simple readability that makes this book hard to put down. It’s a touching reminder of the power of forgiveness, the strength of family bonds, and the importance of second chances—a perfect, heartfelt read for any mood.

This was SO good! I love this author and she created a page turner with this one. It was a good mix of romance, drama, and tragedy. The characters were so well developed without being “slow.” The ending gave me goosebumps.

Colleen Hoover is certainly a versatile writer, but so far [b:Verity|41957126|Verity|Colleen Hoover|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1537519686l/41957126._SY75_.jpg|64581304] continues to be the book that has impressed me the most by how unexpectedly twisty it was. Regretting You is a very different sort of book, as it's a contemporary romance about second chances, mothers and daughters and grief. Unfortunately, I wished that she had delved deeper into certain plot points (because they seemed rather unbelievable instead), although I thought that her portrayal of grief and the miscommunication between Clara and Morgan was pretty realistic. It was the romance aspect that let me down a little.
Regretting You begins with Morgan as a teenager, as she discovers that she's pregnant right when she seems to be catching feelings for Jonah, her sister's boyfriend and her boyfriend's (Chris) best friend. The book then jumps forward, sixteen years later, where her child, Clara, has become a teenager in her own right. Morgan and Clara have a decent relationship, although Clara can't help but to find her mother somewhat staid and predictable, which are not words that Morgan particularly desires to be associated with. Meanwhile, Clara's starting to develop a crush on Miller, a boy that seems to go out of his way to avoid her for unknown reasons - at least until she catches him moving a stop sign and realises that the attraction may be mutual.
And then, a tragedy happens and Morgan and Clara lose Chris in one of the most painful ways imaginable. Chris made some questionable decisions before his passing and as Morgan and Clara come to realise these choices, they each react and process their grief differently and their relationship becomes strained, even as they find themselves romantically involved with Jonah and Miller respectively.
The mother-daughter relationship was one of the strongest selling points of the book, because I think that Hoover really captures the love-hate dynamic between Clara and Morgan really well. Both of them deeply care for each other, but they're unable to understand the decisions that each of them are making during the grieving process. Part of this has to do with a choice that Morgan has made, to try to hide Chris' decisions from Clara, which causes a misunderstanding on her part about the cause of the accident. I wished that Morgan hadn't made such a choice, but I understood why she did it.
However, I did think that Chris's decision could've been developed a little further.
The romance between Miller and Clara also felt like it was better developed than the one between Jonah and Morgan. I liked the idea of a second-chance romance between Jonah and Morgan but given that so many years had passed since high school, I wished that we understood their attraction better than that they were adults with more romantic experience. Clara and Miller's relationship, on the other hand, was really sweet especially as Miller unconditionally supported Clara through her own poor choices due to grief.

Spoiler
As it turns out he had been having an affair with Jenny, Morgan's younger sister. And the child that Jenny had said was Jonah's might very well have been Chris' instead. I wished that there was more of a lead-up to this, although I guessed that Hoover wanted to keep it as a blindside, much like how both Clara and Morgan were blindsided. But even then, seen more of how Morgan realised things in hindsight because a flawless illicit relationship just feels sorta unrealistic to me.The romance between Miller and Clara also felt like it was better developed than the one between Jonah and Morgan.

This book so accurately depicts how it feels when you have everything you’ve ever wanted to say running through your head but you just can’t say it. It shows assumptions and miscommunications and jumping to conclusions and the characters were so relatable in that aspect. Everything they were feeling was valid and it was their truth, even if it wasn’t the whole story.
The relationship between mother and daughter had so many misunderstandings, which made it that much more real. It shows that as a kid, you’re feeling so many emotions already and it’s normal to assume you know everything about your parents. That’s not true; there was an entire world out there before you were born and Morgan and Clara are perfect examples of the gap that can come in between two generations as a result of those assumptions.
Colleen Hoover’s books are so easy to follow while still being addicting reads. Anyone could enjoy them and I look forward to reviewing more of her books later on.
Finally, Miller Adams and Jonah Sullivan are amazing human beings. Morgan is a great mother and honestly, I feel for Clara. Life is hard, girl. Anyways, I highly recommend this book!

I have to say, it was a disappointment for me. The premise sounded so promising, but the execution just fell flat. I struggled to connect with the characters, and their decisions often left me frustrated rather than empathetic.
The pacing felt uneven, with some parts dragging on while key emotional moments seemed rushed. I was hoping for more depth and complexity in their relationships, but it didn’t quite deliver that emotional punch I was looking for.
There were a few good moments, but overall, it didn’t resonate with me as much as I’d hoped. It’s not a book I’d recommend, unfortunately. If you’re curious, maybe check it out, but just keep your expectations in check.

Regretting You — Colleen Hoover
Wow! I was so hesitant to read another CoHo book because I kinda have a love-hate relationship with her stories…
Pero esta historia me agarró desde el principio y no me soltó.
Me enojé varias veces—not because the book was bad, but because it felt SO real.
You feel every emotion. El dolor, el coraje, la tristeza, la decepción…
Todo se sintió válido.
Cada personaje tenía razón en cómo se sentía, y el duelo que vivieron se sintió tan humano, tan crudo.
Amé el dual POV (madre/hija).
El timeline está brutal—no te pierdes, la narrativa es sencilla, clara y emocionalmente poderosa.
CoHo, esta vez te la comiste.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
