Didn’t know what to expect going into this novel, which is the way I like it. Like most of Colleen Hoover’s books, it stands on it’s own in terms of the uniqueness of the characters and storyline.
I think many mothers will find this book relatable when it comes to parenting a teenager. Every parent knows there’s no one size fits all manual and in Regretting You, mother and daughter attempt to navigate the consequences of most devastating incident of their lives.
As the betrayal, revenge, and misunderstandings mount, the mother and daughter’s relationship is tested to it’s breaking point. Sometimes honesty is the best approach.
Kudos to Lexi, Clara’s hilarious friend. I’m hoping she gets her own story.
Queen Colleen has done it again!! It’s amazing how she can write across so many different genres and topics but still bring her A game to every single one of them! This story is a about a mother and daughter relationship as the grapple through a tragic event that changes their lives in so many ways! Morgan and Clara are such realistic characters that I can relate to and the emotions throughout this book are raw, staggering, gut wrenching and heartbreaking. You could feel it pouring of the pages. It’s also filled with love, grief, healing, acceptance and strength. I don’t like to know too much about Colleen’s books before diving in because I like the surprise of the subjects and twists that she inevitably gives us. This story was so phenomenal and I loved the roller coaster it took me on. It’s unbelievable how accurately she is able to portray this relationship between not only Morgan and Clara but the other characters as well. I have been patiently waiting in anticipation for this book and I am not disappointed! It will definitely be one of the top 3 books of the year for me!
What you think you know…Oh this story you are going to have some serious feelings. Old COHO for me. Those feelings of wanting to see what’s coming and wanting to being able to jump into a page and stop it , but really not knowing what is happening also. I know it seems confusing, it seem hard to understand that’s what makes it worth the read. The pull of the story , the tug of the unknown . Then it all starts to unravel and you just keep reading and you cant stop…
you feel everything
you’re in want
you’re in like
you’re in hate
you’re stunned
you’re in love
you’re in anger
you’re in love
you’re feeling everything
but with every page comes a different moment . The Dual POV gives you insight into each side, you’re able to understand the reasons for their actions. You are part of the pages. I understood it. I connected so much with this. It was hard and beautiful, and I loved every single page.
Regretting You is another fabulously written masterpiece by Colleen Hoover. Every book of hers I go into never knowing which direction it will head and with every book I am blown away. Regretting You is a beautiful and tragic story of a young Mother and her daughter. I loved every piece of it with every tear and smile it brought with it. Thank you Ms Hoover for this book…it was EPIC!
This is Colleen Hoover at her best. Regretting You took me back to all the feelings I had with Slammed. This book was so addictive. I read it all in one sitting, ignored my family and bathroom breaks. I’m not joking about the addictive part. I was fully invested in this story from the first chapter. The characters were so relatable, I feel like we’re friends now and I’m going to miss them so much. This story was all the things and so much more!
