“I’m confident that I’ll never spend a single second of my life regretting you.”

I’m starting to think Colleen Hoover just knows exactly what I want in a book. Every time, I laugh, I cry, I walk away feeling so fulfilled. Oh wait I just remembered Verity exists… But anyways, this book gave me all the feels.

In Regretting You, the story is told from two points of view. We have sixteen year old Clara and Morgan, her mother. When a tragic and unthinkable accident occurs, we see them both grieve and heal in different ways. I loved seeing the way their mother daughter relationship evolved through their heartbreak.

I thought a lot about choices while reading this book. The choices we make for ourselves and the choices other peoples make that can turn our world upside down. Will we regret the choices we make in our teenage years or accept the people those choices have turned us into?

The romance, the betrayal, the healing, the relationships, it was all perfect. Colleen Hoover definitely knows how to tie everything to together in the end. Small jokes that seem inconsequential throughout the novel, mean everything when it all wraps. Someone please come chat with me about that ending.

"I liked them (snowglobes) because they reminded me of life. How sometimes, it feels like someone is shaking the world around you, and things are flying at you from every direction, but if you wait long enough, everything will start to calm. I liked that feeling of knowing that the storm inside always eventually settles. - Clara Grant"

Colleen Hoover has always been one of the writers whose works I have always wanted to read but couldn't. I remember reading a couple of chapters 'It Ends WIth Us' back in my high school and how much I was engrossed in it but couldn't spare time to complete it. And after high school, I couldn't pick it up again. To this day, it remains to be one of my regrets. I have a couple of books by her, still on my shelf, waiting to be read. So, the moment I saw 'Regretting You' on NetGalley, I took it as a sign and took the arc. I know that I sound so stupid saying all of this but I am so ecstatic that I finally read a book by Colleen Hoover and it was THIS book!

I'll be using the original book description because I couldn't write one without spoiling: 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 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.

I haven't read a book in a while which makes my heart throb because it has come to an end and sit for hours, staring at the void with a stupid grin (even though sadness had taken over every inch of me) on my face because that is how incredible the ending was! And the word 'incredible' feels so underrated too... The moment I started reading this book, I was transported amidst the pages and before I knew it, it's way past midnight and I am halfway into it. Going to the early morning class without sleep seemed worthy enough for this book. All I could think about, during my class is: how can I sneak out my phone and start reading it? This book felt like a loved one to me, whose presence I was missing so much and couldn't wait to get back to. It was a torture, not able to finish this book on one sitting. Even though my eyes were drooping due to lack of sleep, I read a couple of chapters and fell asleep, that night (total disrespect, I know.) I hated how the universe was trying to keep me from finishing this book because there were times when I was so afraid that I jinxed Hoover's books by ditching them on the first time. But finally, I completed reading it and I have absolutely no words. The book has everything I love: betrayals, romance, resentments, lies, twists which slaps you on the face and for once, ARE real tWiSts!

What does this book have that I don't love? Absolutely nothing! The plot is utterly engrossing, absolutely riveting, heart touching, fast-paced and everything that you tick off from the qualifications of a perfect book! The characters are so well portrayed and realistic. You cannot just hate anyone in this book. Morgan, Clara, Jonah, Jenny, Chris, Miller and his grandfather, Lexie, Elijah... I loved all of them! I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed reading this book. I loved and admire her writing style which is goals!

Honestly, this is one of my best reads of the year! I cannot wait to read more of Colleen Hoover's books! Now, I know why everyone goes crazy when they hear she has a new book to be released! I am so over the moon because this is a worthy 5 star read!

Recommended: You read the review and you know what to do, grab your copy, already!

Regardless of the genre, Hoover’s storytelling captivates and Regretting You is without exception. It’s one of those books that mums and teenager daughters alike have to read, emotions have not been suppressed, no-one is spared, not even the reader. Here, the author shows us how a family copes with grief, how they face each day. But more importantly, how a mother-daughter relationship is affected not just by the loss of a loved one which in itself is tragic, but by actions. Of course, in Hoover fashion, something of consequence is always held back.

I saw what was coming from afar so when the bomb dropped, I wasn’t floored as much as I would have liked. This; however, didn’t spoil my reading enjoyment in the slightest. I really liked how Colleen made me question Clara’s mother’s stance regarding certain fragile issues. And although being protective of our children should be the most natural thing in the world, here I felt it did more harm than good. Yet I don’t think any parent would ever be mentally prepared to help their child navigate what Clara had to without making mistakes.

‘I’ve been trying to hide my emotions from Clara. Not the grief. The grief is natural. I don’t mind being sad in front of her. But I don’t want her to sense my anger.’

I really and truly liked Morgan. Although she’s having trouble adapting, her inner strength, selflessness and loving persona is just as important to the story as is her daughter’s rebellion. Hmm...I can’t tell you what Clara did since it’s a spoiler and a half...just read the book and you’ll find out! One thing is for sure, all Morgan wants is the best for her. Also, an almighty breakdown in communication doesn’t help matters, causing tempers and patience to fray.

‘But who needs clues when you don’t even realize you’re supposed to be playing detective?’

Not surprisingly, discovering the truth so close to home adds to more heartbreak. Morgan’s not alone in her despair, and you’ll see why she has no wish to clarify her daughter’s confusion, something another character and I weren’t completely in agreement with. It’s not easy to read and I’m still wondering if I’d do the same. Definitely food for thought, definitely courageous on her part and probably the only way she’d find closure.

“I’m not here to make you feel better. I’m on the same roller coaster you are.”

Clara’s led a sheltered life. All of a sudden, it all comes tumbling down and finding solace in someone who understood her made me sigh with relief. Sometimes, reasoning with teens is complicated, especially when those around them have their own problems. Clara jumps to conclusions, has infantile tantrums which I found a tad peculiar, seeing as she’s a mature sixteen-year-old. On the whole, she’s a lovely gal needing guidance at a tough time in her young life.

“...I’m learning that sometimes you have to walk away from the fight in order to win it.”

Morgan’s past and the mother/daughter narratives virtually run parallel to each other. It's extremely well done, not at all convoluted and essentially gave their stories a lifelike feel. Two more characters won me over in no time. One of them had me grabbing for a tissue, making me want to jump into my Kindle and hug them to bits, the other got me smiling to myself. Little-big details make this story special. Heartbreaking, uplifting and inspirational, the ending was more than satisfactory. Bravo CH!

ARC kindly provided by Montlake Romance and Netgalley for an honest review.

Oh wow! This was a phenomenal story! It's told in dual POV (mother and daughter), full of emotion, heartache, love, healing, and charm. This truly hit me in the feels (no I didn't cry, but that's because I'm not a crier to begin with, but I assume many would cry while reading this book). I loved the characters (both main and secondary), the plot, and the twists.

Morgan was a really good character. She's the mom who got pregnant at 17 and married the baby daddy. She speaks of her hopes and dreams, fears and worries for her child, and tries to do the best things for her daughter no matter the cost to her. I feel like many mother's do this and it makes me appreciate all the times I know my mom sacrificed her happiness in order to make me happy.
"Relationships are hard for that very reason. Your body and your heart don't stop finding the beauty and the attraction in other people, simply because you've made a commitment to one person."- Morgan

Clara is a good character as well and I could relate to her, understand her reasoning for her actions because I too had once been a hormonal teenager. I liked seeing her at her highest, her lowest, and her understanding and maturing moments. Her actions now make me want to go and hug my mom and tell her thank you for putting up with me and my moodiness and that I love her.

I also liked reading about their love interests. They both were so compassionate and understanding and patient. The guys were seriously swoon worthy, just from their actions alone. They also bring a bit of lightness to this story.
"One of these days, I'm going to be better for you," I say, squeezing his hand. "I promise." "You're perfect just how you are, Clara." "No, I'm not. I'm only a nine, apparently." He's laughing as he backs away from me. "Yeah, but I really only deserve a six." -Miller *SWOON*

All in all, this was a fantastic read and am so thankful for being able to read it early. I highly recommend this story. Thank you NetGalley for this early copy. This is my honest review.

****Four Unregretful Stars****

Disclaimer: Received an ARC from Montlake Romance and Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

It was a first mother/daughter book I read which had alternating POVs and I was a bit worried that it would somehow set me off considering the blurp itself said, "Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike."

What started out as a normal story of a family somehow had me connecting more with Morgan than her daughter even though I'm personally closer in age to Clara.

Colleen gave kinda easy clues as to what would happen as the plot unfolded page by page but dayummmmm, it was gripping and gut-wrenching with the overload of emotions just like any other CoHo book I've read so far.

Morgan and Clara had the very relateable mother-daughter issues of this age and I couldn't help but see things from a parents' POV which was an eye opening experience for me. To be honest, it was somewhat like the Slammed Series for me and I loved this thing.



"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."

Throughout I found it very engaging and finished the book in a single sitting. At times, Clara behaved kinda too much kiddish for my tastes and I wanted to shake some senses into her but overall, I loved it.. Especially the love story and angst because yeah, it's a CoHo book after all.

Recommend it all romance and YA readers!!
Thanks for ARC.
Ciao!
Happy Reading Ⓜ

An up, close & personal look at the train wreck of relationships after a horrific accident leaves 6 lives mangled in a burnt & charred heap. The more the characters try to untangle it, the more tighter the knots get till you cant make out which thread pulls which life. No matter how they cut it, ALL of them get jabbed and pierced and bleed just the same.
"It’s like we’re living in a nightmare—one where we don’t want to eat or drink or speak. A nightmare where all we want to do is scream, but nothing comes out of our hollow throats."
It's a very complex scenario that Colleen sets in the first chapter itself. A teenage dilemma, a life changing situation and 2 couples' lives get divergent. Colleen being a seasoned writer doesn't waste time and space going into unnecessary details about the how's, the why's and the how long's, which forms the crux of the raging war which just sweeps into Chris, Morgan, Jenny & Jonah's lives.
This being the background, the primary theme of the story is the battle being fought between Morgan and Clara, her daughter. As always the innocent bystanders(Clara) catches the shrapnel of the exploded bomb in the aftermath.
Too young to comprehend her role in it, struggling to find her footing and burdened with a misplaced guilt, I can safely say, Colleen has created the most realistic and perfect character with Clara. I could picture her as a hurricane survivor, trying to pick up any leftovers of her home standing in the debris, trying to salvage whatever she could, which isn't much at all.
"Not only am I questioning them, and now Miller, but I’m questioning the whole stupid idea of monogamy and the validity of love and thinking how losing my virginity really isn’t all that special. Because if love isn’t real, then sex is just sex, no matter if it’s your first time or your fiftieth time or your last time."
She captures the teen heartache, drama and turbulence right down to tiny details with such perfection, it's hard to remember Colleen is a mother of teens and not a young girl herself.
There's two simultaneous love stories which cross paths at times and that's where the verbal accidents happen. War of words, tantrums & screaming matches stretch the already thin Mother/Daughter relationship to a breaking point. Add to that the rekindling of dormant feelings between Morgan and her teenage crush and you have a melting pot of emotions threatening to explode and burn everyone with its lava.
Frustrated Tears and heartbreaking angst saturate the story. Secrets and Betrayals leave you bereft. After the horrific accident, the clueless survivors don't get closure. They have to wander in the mausoleum of treachery and betrayal, looking at dead memories everyday trying to find answers. Their anger tears away at the scabs keeping the wound fresh. Trashing souvenirs, slamming doors, tearing letters and abandoning babies, It's all part of the grieving process which needs to bottom out soon...
"Okay. Okay. This is rock bottom. This is definitely rock bottom."
I need new words cause my older ones are inadequate to describe why I felt that this book was speaking to me. This is the exact same unfortunate turn of events that took place in my immediate family. Luckily no one died but that complicated the problems to a whole new level, so in that sense Colleen has been merciful to the readers and cleverly dodged the stake too.
That shows her experience as a writer and sensitivity towards her readers.
Colleen is a master of prose proven a million times million, so for me to praise that would be like showing candle to the sun. What stands out is her acute knowledge of human emotions and behavior. To make a YA/NA story relatable to every age bracket is a Hallmark achievement and her reason for being the indisputable Queen of YA Romance
The intricate web she weaves and then shows the way to unravel it, is ingenious and applause worthy
I'd suggest every woman should read this story, It's all about endurance and human perseverance in the face of calamities that hit you without warning.
6 stars & Thank God for Miller Smith, owner of AIR

Wow! Breathtaking! I am blown away! Colleen Hoover is an auto request for me whenever I see a new book of hers about to come out so I truly knew nothing about this book going in. And I’m glad.
I started this book last night, read til 2a then woke up at 7:30a to finish. Captivating, heartfelt and emotional come to mind when I think of this book... I couldn’t put it down. The perfect blend of women’s fiction and romance... a story about the relationship between a mother and daughter, what happens when a family is broken because of secrets and that second chance for love. I am IN LOVE with this book... deeply. I cried, I laughed, my heart broke and I was filled with complete joy because books like these make my heart so happy.
Hoover proves again why she is exceptional at everything she writes. It’s hard to close a book realizing you might not see these characters again and that’s how I felt when I finished...I wasn’t ready to give them up. And that’s why this is another masterpiece because we fall in love with these fictional characters and we keep them in our hearts forever. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know I’m not saying much but READ IT! It’s a must read!

Colleen Hoover has done it once again. She’s definitely a hit or miss author for me but Regretting You was such a good book and in my opinion, one of the best ones she’s written so far!

Before I started reading this one I honestly didn’t think I’d love it as much as I ultimately did. Based on the synopsis it didn’t exactly sound like a book I’d enjoy but I’m very happy I was proven wrong. I was hooked after the first two chapters and read most of the novel in one sitting. The characters were great, the plot was great and the book was so very well-written.

Regretting You was heartbreaking, gripping, and just everything I hoped it would be and more. Some parts of it almost made me cry while some other parts made me smile like a maniac and I just loved it so much. Five out of five stars!

"Teenagers think their parents should have it all figured out, but the truth is, adults don't really know how to navigate life any better than teenagers do."

I started and finished Regretting You in six hours. I could not put it down! It hooked me from the very first chapter. As with the other Colleen Hoover books I have read, I am in awe at how she manages to take out every ounce of emotion you own. How she manages to make you upset, sad, and happy simultaneously I'll never know. This book was no different.

Regretting You explores various tragedies in life. It is told from a dual POVs, mother and daughter, Morgan and Clare, and how their lives are transformed after a tragic car accident involving their husband/dad. From grief to death, love to heartbreak, parent-child relationships to misunderstandings, Colleen Hoover brilliantly ties in serious issues.

Another brilliantly done novel by Colleen Hoover. Thank you to Amazon Publishing and Netgalley for giving me the chance to read this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Colleen Hoover’s writing is understated genius. She writes about ordinary people in such an extraordinary way. Regretting You is another example of that genius. Secrets, lies and betrayal tear at the fabric of this family. Getting to know Morgan and Clara, witnessing the tension, grief, and pain that leads to selflessness, growth and discovery in their relationship was truly a special experience. If you’ve been a mother or a daughter you know this relationship is hard to define. Ever changing and essential. Hoover, gets it on every level.

The timing and choice to tell the story from both Morgan and Clara’s points of view are spot on. I could not put this novel down. I read it cover to cover (with a box of Kleenex). I could easily put myself in both Clara and Morgan’s shoes which was a unique feeling. This mother and daughter were often times at odds, so the balance in the story for me came in the form of two incredible men, Jonah and Miller. Instantly likeable, but more than that they are honest, real and incredibly important. Both with a story to tell as well.

Regretting You shines a magnifying glass on parenthood, family, relationships and the roles we play throughout a lifetime. It tackles difficult choices and unthinkable moments and does so with grace, humor and of course love. Hoover’s writing is impactful and I find myself more thoughtful and introspective coming out the other side. A must read.

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

Well this is my third book by Colleen Hoover that I have read. I fell in love with CoHo when I read It Ends With Us and Verity. She has done it again. This book was so emotional and the writing was so well done. The story was so unique and beautiful, and included grief, family dynamics, love and friendship. The growing relationship between Morgan and Clara was a highlight for me with this story. This was an emotionally beautiful read! I couldn’t put it down!!

Thanks to Montlake Romance and Netgalley for the free eARC of Regretting You in exchange for my honest review.

There is a moment in this exceptionally developed novel when Colleen Hoover demands that you not judge her characters. She makes you look at Morgan and Clara and ask not that you approve of their actions but rather that you understand that this mother and daughter (respectively) behaved and reacted in ways that are wholly real, wholly true to their characters. Hoover all but grabs you by the chin and forces you to acknowledge that Morgan and Clara, for all their faults, feel as genuine as any characters you have ever encountered.

There are times you want to pull Morgan aside and beg her to try to understand her daughter just a smidge better. You get it, of course. Morgan and Clara's foundation was upended when Chris, Morgan's husband and Clara's father, got in a tragic auto accident that unleashes devastation beyond the initial losses. You get that Morgan does not -- she cannot -- trust as easily as she did before the accident. Clara labels (accuses?) her mother as being predictable, and post-accident, you understand how necessary Morgan's predictability was in the daily functioning of her family.

There are times you want to shout at Clara to Just Stop. Please, for the love of teenage hormones, just stop. Reader, I hated her in some chapters of this book. But then I gasped with delight at the brilliance of Colleen Hoover, who created a teenage girl who is not precocious, not preternaturally wise, not an old soul. She is sixteen and acts like it: self-absorbed, self-involved, and self-inflicting. Clara could not look beyond her initial assumptions if she had a guide dog to lead her. She is resolute in believing she is right. At one point, she gets upset with her mother over Morgan's honesty, even as she rails against her for not telling the truth. This, friends, is exactly what it means to be a teenager.

Hoover alternates between Morgan's and Clara's narration, so you know what each is thinking and feeling as she navigates her new normal. One particular decision of Morgan's left me a little frustrated because I had questions and wanted answers, but I understood why Morgan chose as she did. It's different from what I would have done, but I think that makes it all the more interesting.

I love this book. I love how open-ended some of it is, even as other parts give you a sense of resolution. Not for the first time after reading a Colleen Hoover book, I wish I was part of a book club so I could talk about Morgan and Clara. I bought a copy of this for my daughter, hoping to coerce her into a discussion about those two characters.

Please let me know what you think of <i>Regretting You</i>. Hit up the comments and tell me.

4 Gave Me All the Feels Stars!!!

I’m about to say something that is “gasp worthy”…. This is my first Colleen Hoover book! I know, I know, you’re wondering how this can be… I wish I had a good answer, but I don’t. When I read the blurb for this book I decided this is the one that would pop by CoHo cherry!

And what a book to start with. This book is an amazing story that transitions between what I think of as a YA read to a contemporary romance to a second chance novel. This book revolves around six people that are all intertwined and/or related. There’s a young love between Clara and the boy she’s crushing on Miller, Morgan and her husband Chris, her sister Jenny and Chris’s best friend Jonah.

One of the things I loved so much about this book is the seamless transition between stories and couples. There’s so much emotion and depth to each person and Ms. Hoover has done a wonderful job of getting me invested into each and every life involved. I could feel the tenseness of Morgan and Clara’s relationship as Clara matures and tries to test her maturity in times of deep anguish and not understanding why. She definitely attempts all the things typical teenagers do to rebel.

Clara herself has so many questions and crushed love and dreams because she just can’t wrap her head around what’s happening in her life. I loved how she didn’t hide her feelings either. She also faces an unrequited love that she’s not sure she should take the chance on because what does that say about the last several years of her life.

This book is beautifully written and had me experiencing so many emotions from anger to love to desire to satisfaction because in the end, everything is as it should be. I know this is a pretty vague review, but, because of all that transpires I didn’t want to give too much away. I would highly recommend reading this one because once you start, you won’t be able to put it down and you’ll understand why I’ve been a little vague. And one other thing, I’m definitely going to be reading more CoHo in the future!

Whether you are a mother raising your teenage daughter or a daughter just starting your way into adulthood, this book will amaze you.

We have all experienced the rebellion that normally happens as you are about to graduate from high school and step into the adult world of university and jobs. It is normal to rebel and forge ahead shaping your dreams into real life. This is how we discover who we are and take responsibility for our destinies.

As a mother, dealing with teenagehood rebellion, we all remember how we struggled through that life passage. We also have the experience of having lived through obstacles, defeat, and a reality that the dreams we had when we were young will either die or we had to change them in order to survive.

This book focuses on the impact a fatal accident has on a mother and a daughter trying to survive the loss and the changes to their lives. In a very real way, it presents us with two perspectives that will need to be faced before our mother/daughter duo will be able to repair their relationship.

Be prepared to cry, deeply examine life, and finally grow with our characters. The writing style is fantastic. It is succinct with just the correct amount of embellishment. This helps the reader focus on the plotline without transgressions.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all mothers and daughters as I remember the nostalgia of growing up and showing my own daughter that dreams are meant to be followed. Sometimes our original dreams will need some tweaking, but living without a dream or goal we can embrace with our soul can only result in stagnation and a life of rote.

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.

Colleen has done it again!!! She has ripped my heart out, taken my tears and left me with a book hangover once again.

Without giving away any spoilers, this book is about a mother and daughter who both experience growing pains while dealing with an unexpected life event. It’s beautiful, sad, funny and refreshing. It’s everything you love in a CoHo.

You will not regret adding this book to your collection.

Colleen Hoover you have done it again! You have made me ride an emotions rollercoaster, get 100% invested in the characters and their lives, along with reading the book in practically one sitting. Colleen is a masterful writer who engages you in a story while offering sound advice that is not noticed until after reading. I will be the mother of a teenager soon and the relationship between Morgan and Clara showed the highs and lows. While working through their relationship, there are other relatioships building and strengthening. Colleen Hoover has strong character development and always leaves me wanting more of each story and person that I read about.

Thank you Colleen Hoover, Montlake Romance and Netgalley for an early copy! (Picture from Goodreads.com)

Colleen Hoover has done it again. Taking a unique storyline and developing such heartfelt characters that you can’t help but fall in love with, and root for.

<b>Regretting You</b> is more than just a love story though. With themes of grief, family, love, and friendship, CoHo delivers such a rich mother/daughter dynamic, and the development of the relationship between Morgan and Clara was one of my favorite parts of this book!

I mean of course that also means that Jonah and Miller have become my new book crushes, but that’s always the case with a new Hoover romance. I’ve definitely been hit with all the emotions while reading this, and I loved it!

*Thank you Montlake Romance, Netgalley and Colleen Hoover for this gifted copy for review.

FFS, Hoover... at least it took me to 88% for my eyes to spring a small leak with this one.

I never thought I'd ever say that I'm actually excited for contemporary romance now. Maybe it's just Hoover. Maybe it's me being older and "softer". I don't know. What I do know is that every Hoover book I've read so far has just pierced me in one way or another. Here she does it... again.

We get two POVs between Morgan and Clara, mother and daughter. When tragedy occurs, they have to transverse their relationship in a brand new way. Not only dealing with their grief but what they learn in the process. Let's look past the obvious of the drama that happens when secrets come to light and crack what seemed to be a perfect family. Let's instead look at the relationship between Morgan and Clara and how making mistakes and growing WITH each other is what is important.

Listen, as a daughters, we know what it's like to have that relationship with our mother. It's frustrating at times, makes you want to scream and pull your hair out. But there is also nothing quite like it. Hoover does a fantastic job in bringing in both perspectives. This feels even partially like a YA due to Clara's point of view.

I don't know, you guys. Hoover just has a gift and turning the first page is like opening a new present. While this one wasn't quite as hard hitting as some other books I've read (such as All Your Perfects), it certainly still gave all my feelings a work out. I still have unrealistic expectations of men now from her novels but isn't the point of reading books to launch you into a new world. *wink*

Just read it. It's just romance enough to make your heart swell, but it's perfectly contemporary enough for you to take on the lessons within.

Well this was delightful ... I knew it would be good regardless, but I was a little hesitant over the book topic, thinking it wouldn't be a romance. Well it sure is. It was silly of me to ever doubt CoHo. This book kicks you in your emotion pants but still maintains heart, hope, and humor throughout. Even though its a heavy heavy topic it doesn't drag you down. I wouldn't change it a thing, it is perfection.Highly highly recommend!

In that unique way only Colleen Hoover seems to manage, Regretting You broke my heart and filled it to the brim all at the same time.

I haven’t read a book of hers that I didn’t absolutely love and this one was no exception. The story and characters were captivating, authentic and relatable - I couldn’t put it down. Now starts the excruciating wait for her next release.
