From #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us comes a novel about family, first love, grief, and betrayal that will touch the hearts of both mothers and daughters.

Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike.

Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn’t have a spontaneous bone in her body.

With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris—Morgan’s husband, Clara’s father, and the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long-lasting consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara.

While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan finds comfort in the last person she expects to, and Clara turns to the one boy she’s been forbidden to see. With each passing day, new secrets, resentment, and misunderstandings make mother and daughter fall further apart. So far apart, it might be impossible for them to ever fall back together.

Amazon.com Review

An Amazon Best Book of December 2019: Colleen Hoover’s novels frequently straddle the line between heartfelt romance and family drama, offering the best of both worlds. Her latest, Regretting You, again delivers a winner, with a story that’s vulnerable, genuine, and emotionally fulfilling. After she got pregnant at 17 and married her fun-loving boyfriend, Chris, Morgan put her future on hold to raise their daughter—a choice that Morgan has been satisfied with until recently. Now Morgan’s teenage daughter, Clara, likes a boy of dubious background, Morgan’s sister has just had a baby, and Morgan wants to finally do something with her life that involves paying attention to her own dreams for once. Then a fatal accident sends shock waves through the family, tearing at the bonds between Clara and Morgan. Hoover clearly understands the push and pull of even the best mother-daughter relationships, evoking empathy for both women and the mistakes they make as they struggle to reconcile the past and build a new future. —Adrian Liang, Amazon Book Review

Well Read Nana 1/24

Regretting this read sorry to say, too young adult for my taste.

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

When I saw Colleen Hoover's new release I was excited, and very happy to see it was listed as a Women's fiction /Contemporary Adult read but that was far from what this read was. The book starts off about teenagers then splits sort of down the middle of the life of a mom and her 16 year old daughter. The book is more than half about a teen romance and teen romance just isn't my thing at all. The portion about her mom had promise but it went south for me very quickly. What I thought was going to be a real emotional ,gritty read for the mom just turned out to be a half of a half of a unbelievable storyline in my opinion. And very unfortunately when I thought that I might get some insight to the " other character's " sadly I did not. It just kind of went all kinds of silly and sappy ,much like a PG rated after school special. The author could have done so much more with these characters but they just didn't really go anywhere. I kept thinking maybe this will happen, or maybe that is finally going to happen but it never did. It just fell flat and again so very young adult for my taste. I swear I felt like I needed to buy some Clearasil after this read and maybe write in my dairy about the boy from my class 30 years ago. And the ending was so sweet and cute, just so cute it could have given me a cavity but it didn't match the contents of this read with all the heavy issues this book started with ,it should have never had ended so cute. If you are going to go with a dark read I say stay with a dark read, this book touched on real darkness and then went to unicorns and rainbows and cute little puppy kisses. It was just not a hit for me sorry to say.

Dreams...passion...lessons on love

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Finding passion in life after fulfilling everyone else’s dreams. Time to live life for herself after living through the aftermath of loss.

This is a lesson on love and the effect it has on everyone’s lives.

Overall:
Once again I find myself enraptured by the words Colleen has gifted me, the reader. Hook line and sinker, I’m so caught up in this story just like all the others she’s written before this one. I tell you this woman is gifted in the creative department. It’s no wonder she’s a best selling author. She makes reading fun and entertaining. This story is simple and easy to read, yet the emotions and feelings that it creates in me is complex and complicated. Colleen hits all the marks for what it takes to captivate her readers. For me anyway.

Colleen is really good at writing the emotional side of her characters. I’m not sure I have any heart strings left to pull after reading all her books. I can’t imagine sitting down for the first time to read one of her books then decide to read them all from start to finish. I’d be a puddle of goo after draining my life source of emotions. Yet I wouldn’t want to miss out on each one. I don’t envy anyone who hasn’t yet discovered Colleen’s books because to sit down and start from the beginning would require a bulk size box of tissues. I got a little teary eyed during the video. Sniff. Sniffle.

I see so much of Colleen’s personality shine in these characters actions and words. The scene with the picture sounded very much like something Colleen has done. I hate how Colleen has me reflecting on myself with her good hearted characters. They sicken me with there ability to have each other’s back. I’m jealous of them. It makes me want better for myself by surrounding myself with these types of individuals only I don’t know how to find them.

BTW orange isn’t the worse color. I think it’s yellow.

Favorite quote: “The search for myself is becoming my favorite part of my new journey.”

Hoover does it again

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I always find myself at a loss of words when it comes to reviewing books that hit my soul hard. It typically happens when I read Mrs. Hoover's books. This one is no exception. No matter what words I use to try to express my thoughts and feelings I can't do this book justice.

This book is full of love, loss, mending, finding who you are, family, friendship, trust... I think you get the point. There is so much wrapped up in this book. I found myself lost in the story of these two women who have lost so much, but they forgot what all they still had.

The writing and telling of this story is everything. It's told in the best way possible. There is no way it could be told any other way. The characters are well developed. The story flows. The plot is heavy. I was completely lost in these characters and their journey.

I don't know how Hoover does it time and time again. Her writing and creativity blow my mind with each book. Even if you don't connect to any of her books on a personal level, there is always an element to her stories that will grab you and not let go. Her books always tend to stay with me for long after I have finished them. This one is no different.

Needs a sprinkling of fairy dust

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 17, 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Once again Colleen Hoover delves deeply into matters of the heart with sensitivity and a keen understanding of the teenage psyche. Her characters are likeable, the writing style fluid and easy, and the story lopes along nicely. For me, though, this book doesn’t quite have the same emotional punch I’ve come to expect from this accomplished author.

For a start, the few twists were very thinly disguised; it was clear from early on exactly where the narrative was going. Now normally, I wouldn’t take exception to that, in the same way I don’t mind getting on a train and knowing its destination. But what makes any journey special is the scenery along the way. And with ‘Regretting You’, I just got the sense I’d seen it all before.

Yes, I was moved by the predicament of mum Morgan and teenage daughter Clara, whose lives are thrown into a tailspin when husband/dad Chris dies in a car crash alongside his sister-in-law Jenny. I think Hoover does a fine job of exploring their grief, anger and confusion. I liked Clara’s boyfriend Miller a lot and easily identified with the ‘first love’ theme. And I enjoyed the tension and poignancy in Morgan’s relationship with Jonah, Jenny’s partner.

For someone like me, though, who regularly blubs when reading, there should have been enough tugging of the heartstrings in this to see me through a whole box of tissues. On the contrary, not a single tear was shed. And not because it wasn’t an emotional story; it was, in spades. It was just all a little too formulaic.

While I can see why diehard fans would love this book regardless, I believe that many, if they’re honest, would admit, like me, to being a tad disappointed. And there’s the problem: when authors set a high bar, there are bound to be times when they don’t quite hit the mark. And this, unfortunately, is one of them

Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful. You can find more candid book reviews on my Amazon profile page.

I have mixed feelings about this story. I love many parts and the characters but I also can’t get over certain scenes or acts.
It’s beautiful and powerful as we’re used to from the author and it’s angsty and makes you think a lot of what would you do in those moments, the decisions that you’ve made would be the same? The feelings?

Suffice to say it wouldn’t be a Colleen Hoover book without a massive twist. I’ve read every book written and I. An honestly say I have not been disappointed by any of them.

This book in true Hoover style delivers the punch and leaves you reeling. Then in Hoover style she very cleverly and patiently puts you back together. Well defined characters and heartbreaking narrative. Broke my heart but loved it anyway.

I am a big fan of Colleen Hoover stories. She is my favourite author. She is good at bringing versatile story lines with different genres and she nails it!! A big applause for the story 'Regretting you'. I loved all the emotional conversation between Clara and Morgan. It is beautiful and very real and I feel both the characters close to my heart. Being a mother I can understand all the decisions that Morgan makes inorder to protect her daughter from heartache. Thanks for giving such a wonderful story!

What a web of lies we weave, in which we often can deceive.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

What a truly emotional roller coaster of a book. So much love, trust, hate, lies, deceit, relationships in turmoil and so much more. In many ways this may be classed as an alternative romantic novel, but again could be described as a hormonal interlude between generations who find it increasingly difficult to communicate, tell the truth or even possibly be in martyrs mode. We have four exceptional character, Clara the daughter, Morgan the mother , Jonah the father of Elijah, and Miller the film maker. However the story whirls around Jenny and Chris and the way they influence the ones they have loved. It is a fascinating angle. In places it is so emotionally charged. I defy anyone to truly second guess all the fascists. As ever and excellent story by and exceptional author.

Its been a LONG time since I read a book from Colleen Hoover and I'm now wondering why the hell I waited so long. Once I started this I was completely enthralled from beginning to the end.

Colleen has written this in a dual POV filled with emotion and heart. There were some sad times that made me shed a tear or two but there was also some really heartfelt moments too. The characters were brilliant and really relatable which added to my enjoyment of this one.

I had no clue about the storyline when I started this, I just went into it blind and excited getting a chance to read a CoHo book and she didn't disappoint me. I will certainly be reading more from CoHo very soon.

Another great story from Colleen Hoover!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 25, 2020

I am a MASSIVE Colleen Hoover fan and have been reading her books religiously for years.
Colleen has always had a wonderful way of transporting you into her characters world and you can almost live through them and feel their emotions. I find her books incredibly easy to read, and this book was no exception. I recently took this book on holiday with me and i found I couldn’t wait to get back to it and read more of the story much to my partners annoyance!
It made me smile and feel warm inside and I think in a world where things can be so bleak and sad a book like this can be extremely up lifting.
It’s not all rainbows and butterflies and there’s lots of sadness in the mix but weather that storm and you’ll find yourself feeling warm and toasty again in no time. The characters are lovable and relatable and there’s twists and turns you may see coming or may completely blindside you, you’ll only know if you purchase, which you should!
I’m envious of anyone who has just discovered Colleen Hoover because you get to enjoy all of her books and binge them, whereas I’m waiting for the next one... and the next one.. and the one after that! Enjoy!

Orange is my favourite colour

Colleen Hoover can take an inanimate object and make it a star in a book. A door that swings in a kitchen. It’s just a door that swings. Until it doesn’t swing anymore.

Or a watermelon flavoured Jolly Rancher. It’s just a sweet of a particular flavour. In Regretting You it becomes so much more than a sweet.

The colour orange. It’s inoffensive. I can only wear it if it’s on my Bright Side T-shirt because a little orange book makes orange cool!

Fantastic book.
