Ehhhh. I was waiting for the kicker the entire book. Way too much extra information put in here when the book could’ve been done in half this. Way too slow of a read as well. I put this book down so many times.
I’m a big fan of CoHo and have been excited to read her newest novel, Regretting You. With Hoover, you can always expect a good story and this is no different. Sadly though, I won’t be naming this as a favorite of hers. Regretting You was quick and easy. She writes about heartbreak and the worst kind of betrayal yet I felt the novel lacked the emotional charge you can usually expect from her. The characters were enjoyable but somehow seemed to lack depth. For these reasons, I am falling at 3.5 stars but bumping to 4 since we STILL can’t do half stars. Of course, as always, I’ll be looking to devour her next novel.
Super good!
This book got me hooked right from the start. I wanted to know EVERYTHING right away. At times I wanted to shake Morgan to make her see that she needed to spill the tea. Other times I wanted to scream to Clara and make her come to her senses. I felt a roller coaster of emotions and it brought me back to the stubbornness of the teenage years. I highly recommend this book. I loved it.

I'm regretting reading this book. My excuse for reading any CoHo book has always been that they are included on Kindle unlimited, but this has got to be the last one I'll ever read. I can see how chick-lit can be fun and exciting, but this one was a complete turn off.

Raw, emotional and captivating, Regretting You by Colleen Hoover navigates the relationship between a mother and her daughter after the death of her husband and sister that revealed an affair.
Summary: 17-year-old Morgan Davidson finds out that she is pregnant with her boyfriend's child and marries him. Seventeen years later, 16-year-old Clara Grant finds herself drawn to Miller Adams, whom her father dislikes. Then, her father and aunt die in a car accident, which leads to Morgan's learning about the affair between her husband and her sister.

Review: I definitely do not regret reading this book. I even cried at some point! Clara and Miller are simply too sweet. I also love the development of various interpersonal relationships present in the book. The writing is engaging, the characters are compelling, and the pacing is fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
The story is told through alternating perspectives: Morgan narrates the odd chapters, while her daughter Clara narrates the even chapters. This storytelling format allows readers to immerse in their respective experiences and understand the dramatic irony that takes place as Morgan hides her husband's affair from Clara. It also shows readers two different stories of two people and how they intertwine.
Morgan is such a strong and selfless character. She spent seventeen years living for anyone but herself ever since she found out about the pregnancy. Even when she found out about the affair, which crushed her, she refused to tell Clara about it because she knew her daughter would be utterly hurt, considering how much she idolised her father and aunt. She's such a strong and compelling protagonist.
Clara is a realistic teenager. She has a lot of angst, yet I understand why she feels that way. She can be a bit wild at times and makes stupid reckless decisions, but it's understandable. There are moments when she can be annoying, but the author does a great job calling her out and making her face the consequences of her actions. Overall, she is a flawed but powerful character.
Cheating is a huge theme in this story, as the affair between Chris and Jenny (Morgan's husband and sister) made a great negative impact on the lives of those around them, especially Morgan, who was very close to them both, and Jonah, who has to raise their love child, Elijah, after being lied to that he was the father. I would say that this incident poses a great contrast to Morgan and Jonah, who always had feelings for each other but chose to do the respectful thing and stay away from each other. It goes to show that cheating is ultimately a choice.
The writing is engaging and draws me into the story. Even the miscommunication between the mother and daughter (due to the secret of Chris and Jenny's affair) felt justified. I was begging Morgan to tell Clara the truth already, but I totally understood her perspective. I simply have nothing to complain about this book. I especially love the relationship between Clara and Miller – they made me shed tears of joy! The author did a great job blending realistic issues with YA romance.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this book to readers who are interested in a story about love, grief and family. This may be a YA book, but I think anyone can read this regardless of age rating preferences. The dual POV of an adult and a teenager makes great storytelling and shows interesting contrasting perspectives.
