Regretting You by Colleen Hoover
3.0
Ughhhhh I go back and forth on Colleen Hoover. I really, really don't like when grown adults act like lovestruck teenagers - and that totally happened in this book. Plus there was also a teenager acting like a lovestruck teenager, and all together it was a bit much.
That being said, parts about the premise were great! Morgan & Chris get married after having their daughter, Clara, as teenagers. Years later, Chris & Morgan's sister, Jenny, are in a car accident that raises questions as to why they were together at that time.
It's a lot to unpack for Morgan & Clara - and watching them process world-shifting knowledge was the good part of the book. The less good parts involved Morgan choosing to lie to Clara & asking the man she starts a new relationship with to lie as well and Clara falling in love for the first time & using that relationship to hurt her mom. It wasn't a story that needed to be made more complex by adding more lies - there was plenty to explore in the first storyline.
I did really want to know how the whole story ended - but there was a lot of eye rolling along the way.
